Engage the bold and playful artworks of Amnon David Ar.

Anyone who has seen Amnon David Ar’s luminous colorful works will not forget them. His highly aesthetic paintings show subjects that are often humorous and create a tension field between fantasy and reality. Ar (b. 1973) is an Israeli artist living and working in Berlin. His paintings of everyday objects, people, and street views seem alive; each stands out for its modernity and topicality. In his work with models and objects, he captures the essence of his subjects. Strong colors, the play of light and shade, and clear forms encompass a wide range of realistic painting. Ar does not hide the imperfect, he plays with it.

Amnon David Ar: Light Years shows all the artist’s creative phases and directs our gaze to the remarkable qualities of ostensibly inconspicuous objects.
