Nurit David
Nurit David is an Israeli painter and art educator known for her significant contributions to contemporary Israeli art. Born in 1952 in Tel Aviv, she has been an influential figure in the art scene since the 1980s. David holds a deep reverence for historical art, drawing significant inspiration from Japanese and Chinese cultures, where the distinction between art and craft is blurred.
Around 2015, her practice expanded beyond painting, which had previously defined her work. This shift was influenced by her exploration of vector graphics software, a cutting plotter, an archival pigment printer, and a sewing machine—tools she embraced at the scale of an amateur craftsman. Her studio transformed into a workshop, a miniature factory producing not only paintings but also works linked to the concept of clothing, beginning with her series ‘Nobody’s Clothing’ in 2017.
Her collection ‘Clothing for Someone’ is a limited-edition series of wearable art that allows paintings to venture into three dimensions, becoming objects in space and time. In this paradoxical process, the work “gets out there into the real world”, while remaining grounded in its original medium.
