Biography

Aviva Uri, painter, born 1927, Safed, Israel, Died 1989, Tel Aviv. Aviva Uri's abstract drawings link her to the "New Horizons" group, but suggest an alternative to the abstract art being created in the country: instead of oils, we have drawings on paper; instead of the professional mixing of colors, we have no coloration; instead of Paris, we have the influence of Japan and China, or other individualists (Hans Hartung); instead of objectivity, we have the expression of anguish and fear, of the tension between despair and elation; instead of delicate, lyrical textured surface we have the emotionally charged, albeit controlled, line. Uri's free line influenced younger artists, such as Raffi Lavie.
