Pamela Levy, an American-born artist, moved to Israel in 1976. She worked and lived in Jerusalem until her untimely death at the age of 55 in 2004. Throughout her time in Israel, Levy captured her foreign surroundings, from scenes at the beach to the marketplace, in oil paintings, drawings, and prints. The Jerusalem Print Workshop is proud to dedicate an exhibition entirely to Pamela Levy’s woodcuts, many of which have never been seen by the public. Levy’s prints differ from the traditional printmaking artists in Israel, perhaps as a result of her American upbringing or her role as a female artist within a male dominant field. Levy’s prints display figurative imagery; her characters interact with viewers as they run, jump and play. The compositions, full of life and color, are a stark contrast to the black and white traditional woodcut. In her colorful prints, Levy explores an underlying tension between man and woman, the beautiful and the ugly, and the private and the political.
