The exhibition presents the complete body of prints by the artist Rita Alima
(1932–2013) created at the Jerusalem Print Workshop. Her prints are not
translations of painting into another medium, but the result of a
dedicated, sustained, and precise process that constructs the image through
attentive engagement with material, layer, and time. The Jerusalem Print
Workshop was for Alima more than a site of production, it functioned as a space
for experimentation, dialogue, and collaborative work, where she developed a
personal visual language grounded in formal reduction, repetition, and an internal
rhythm. The working conditions of the workshop – the technical knowledge and
the possibility to return, revise, and refine – enabled her to pursue long term
processes and fully realize the potential of printmaking as an independent
medium.
