Amit Berman Israel, b. 1994

Amit Berman (b. 1994) ’s work is deeply autobiographical, reflecting his personal experiences and relationships through his own perspective or those of his partner. His practice explores themes of intimacy, longing, and the fleeting beauty of mundane moments, capturing their emotional resonance through vivid, painterly expression. For Berman, painting is both a ritual and a meditative process, allowing him to navigate universal feelings such as love, fear, anxiety, and the search for connection.

 

At the core of his work lies a Romantic sensibility, where nature is idealized as a space of transformation and individuality. Movement, vitality, and the depiction of beauty are central to his artistic language, blending an almost nostalgic reverence for nature with a contemporary lens. Berman often draws upon art historical references, linking real-life moments with symbolic imagery that enriches his storytelling. Each painting begins with a specific image in mind, tied to his emotional landscape and current experiences, creating works that are both personal and universally resonant.

 

Recent exhibitions include a solo show at Alon Segev Gallery in Tel Aviv, and a group exhibition at the Haifa Museum of Art. Berman participated in "I confini dell’alterità /The Contours of Otherness" at the Jewish Museum of Venice during the 2024 Venice Biennale. The museum also acquired his work "A Transferable Safe Space" for their permanent collection. Berman was selected for prestigious international residencies including The Cabin in Los Angeles (November 2024) and Cabane Georgina in Marseille (July 2024).

 

Since July 2026, Amit has been in residence, developing a new body of work for his upcoming solo exhibition opening in September 2026 at Fabienne Levy's Geneva and Lausanne gallery spaces.
