Encounter at the exhibition Ilana Dotan: Shelf Life (in Hebrew)

Encounter with the exhibition curator Emanuela Calò

The breathtaking charcoal and graphite drawings created by Ilana Dotan (b. 1967), recipient of the 2025 Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art, are shaped by a magical, seemingly photographic form of realism. Her technical mastery captures the textures, materiality, and transparencies of inexpensive, industrialized objects found in the domestic sphere. Dotan replaces the traditional arrangements of 17th-century still-life painting with contemporary packaging materials, whose marginal existence represents a fast-paced, distraction-filled consumer culture.
