Browse and Darby is delighted to announce an exhibition of the latest work from Brooklyn-based contemporary artist, Avital Burg, in association with Crean & Company.
Textures of Time marks Burg’s first solo show in the UK with a new series of still-lifes and portraits. Likening her practice to a form of ‘visual journaling’, Burg’s paintings contemplate the essence and passing of time. From urban wildflowers picked near her home, to annual birthday self-portraits, each painting carries an anecdotal significance, a memento to a particular moment in her life.
Avital Burg was born in Jerusalem, Israel, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Burg’s work was recently shown in solo shows at Pamela Salisbury Gallery in Hudson, NY, Slag Gallery, New York, and at the Neve Schechter Gallery, Tel Aviv. Burg’s work was included in two-person exhibitions at Arts at AJU, Los Angeles, and Club Caltural Matienzo, Buenos Aires. Her work was also featured in group shows at Fridman Gallery, NY, The Islip Art Museum, the Greenpoint Film Festival, NY and in other group shows in New York and Tel Aviv. She is the recipient of several grants, including the Artis Residency Grant, and was the artist in residence of the Peleh Residency in California in 2019, and the Interlude Residency in Hudson in 2022.
Burg’s work is part of many collections world-wide, among them are the Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection, NY, The Bank Leumi art collection, Israel, and Mr. Dov Shiff collection, Israel. Burg attended the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, “Hatahana” school of figurative drawing and painting, Tel Aviv, The Slade School of Art, London, and the New York Studio School.
