Israeli painter Nir Hod is opening a solo exhibition, “A Hundred Years Is Not Enough,” at the Nassima Art Foundation, 55 Ahad Ha’am Street in Tel Aviv. The show runs from November 16 through January 29, 2027.
It is Hod’s first exhibition in the city in about 20 years, since his solo show at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Born in Tel Aviv in 1970 and now based in New York, Hod has exhibited internationally. His recent projects include collaborations with Dior’s flagship stores.
The new works are landscapes set somewhere between memory, imagination and illusion, with flowers floating on silver surfaces and colors and shapes moving between abstraction and figuration. Hod uses chrome-coated canvases, creating reflective surfaces that draw viewers into the work, a nod to the myth of Narcissus.
The title reflects Hod’s view that even a hundred years would not be enough to fully experience the beauty of life itself. The painted scenes recall familiar places and moments but resist precise identification.
His work has been shown at venues including the Israel Museum, the Museum of Israeli Art in Ramat Gan, the Jewish Museum in New York, the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin and the Jewish Museum Vienna.
The foundation is open Monday to Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
