Painter Alex Schneiderman will show her work at Rothschild Fine Art in Tel Aviv from November 19 to December 12, in an exhibition titled “Blue and Green.” Naama Arad served as curatorial adviser.
The paintings feature people, animals and trees clinging to and wrapped around one another in landscapes that recall distant places. The blue and green settings are not real locations but places shaped by memory, imagination and longing. Home and family appear in them both as a source of closeness and protection and as a place of expectations and tensions handed down through generations.
The title comes from a song by Amir Lev about a child’s relationship with his mother, caught between the need for love and the wish to break away.
Schneiderman builds her canvases by painting and erasing, adding layers of paint and removing them. Her approach is also shaped by aikido, the Japanese martial art built on flowing with an opponent’s movement rather than meeting it head-on.
Born in Crimea, she immigrated to Israel at age nine and lives and works in Tel Aviv. She studies Japanese calligraphy and teaches martial arts. This year she took part in the summer group show at Green & Stone gallery in London, and in 2025 she was in the artists’ incubator at the Fresh Paint fair in Tel Aviv.
Where: Rothschild Fine Art, 2 Moshe Maor Street, Tel Aviv.
Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
