Leon Weinreb lives and works in Tel Aviv, painting signature local subjects with a classical oil technique. From fleeting parking spaces to the shouty ice cream guy on the beach, the body of his work evokes a time, place, light and spirit that is uniquely and specifically Tel Avivian.
Self-taught, his pieces have been exhibited across galleries in Tel Aviv, and collected from LA, London and beyond.
Helmet Explanation: To be Israeli is to face complex challenges.
Security, water, posting a letter –problems are the natural condition of life in Israel. And yet Israelis emerge as the ultimate optimists, with the
hunger, confidence and ability to push forward, explore, overcome and just enjoy. It’s about simple joy as the heroic antidote to complex
problems.
