Roni Taharlev - Self Portrait

Roni Taharlev ((Hebrew: רוני טהרלב born in Israel in 1964) is an Israeli figurative painter [1]. She exhibited in diverse international and Israeli museums and galleries, including the Israel Museum [2], the National Portrait Gallery in London, and an exhibition curated by a Louvre curator at the Grand Palais in Paris [3] [4]. Taharlev teaches at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem [5] [6].

Biography

Roni Taharlev was born in 1964 in Kibbutz Yagur. Taharlev is the daughter of the Israeli lyricist Yoram Taharlev and the poet and author Nurit Zarchi [7]. In 2012 a self-portrait of hers was included in the BP Award exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, exhibited also at the National Portrait Galleries of Scotland and Wales. In 2019 her painting “Not This Light, the Other Light” was selected by a Louvre curator for the major exhibition “La Lune. Du voyage réel aux voyages imaginaires” (The Moon, from Real to Imaginary Voyages) at the Grand Palais in Paris, a ‘first’ for an Israeli painter. In 2019 she also had a solo exhibition at the Herzliya Museum for Contemporary Art, titled “White Ravens” [8].

Taharlev's work is in the genre of figurative realist painting, especially portraits. Her work is characterized by a deep knowledge of the classical tradition in European painting through the ages, and by her ability to correspond with this tradition from a position of great familiarity while insisting at the same time on a modern-contemporary perspective, thus creating in her paintings over many years a highly personal artistic language.

Taharlev uses her paintings of figures and portraits to explore fundamental experiences of identity and selfhood in modern Western society, such as the objectification of women, the limits of gender binaries, and the cultural aspiration for determinism versus ambivalence and play.

Personal Life

Taharlev has four children: the video clip director Jonathan Vardi, the singer-songwriter Kama Vardi, Uria and Atalya Gilad. For twenty years she lived in in a small community on a mountain in the upper Galilee near the Lebanon border. Now she lives in Jaffa with her partner, the historian Dror Wahrman.
