YOSI LUBALSKY
Israeli landscape painter graduated from the School of Architecture at Tel Aviv University with a B.arch degree.
Exhibits from the year 2015 at exhibitions in Israel and abroad, including the Hudson Gallery in New York, La Galleria Pall Mall in London, the Okashi Art Museum in Acre, the Israeli Art Market magazine, and other exhibitions in Israel.
His paintings deal with the landscape of the Land of Israel in the Jezreel Valley and the North, landscape paintings using oil technique on large-scale fabrics that depict the natural expanses of the Jezreel Valley and the North.
Lubalsky’s art is defined as “patriotic art” that portrays the beautiful and good land of Israel,
His paintings deal with the subject of Israeli society and the march towards global progress. A farmer with the values of a Zionist settlement. Dealing with
a reality of change and paradox that shakes and undermines the familiar pattern and square, the work of the land against the entrepreneurial world and the momentum of construction that threaten the reserves of agricultural land.
The connection to the roots and the subject of nature is not coincidental, since the patterns of images and memories are rooted in it from childhood in the city of Hadera, in a rural environment where there were natural spaces that were not yet developed. In his paintings he expresses a yearning for nature from memory patterns in the landscape, the eucalyptus trees, the orchards, the formation and change of which is poured on the canvas.
THE ARTIST’S WORDS
“I tried to understand why I had the attraction to the sights of nature, and I understood, thanks to quoting the poem by Shaul Tchernichovsky, that I am “a man whose homeland was molded”.
I choose subconscious patterns from the past from my hometown Hadera, which take meaning into the present patterns in the face of the expanses of the Jezreel Valley today and cast the subjects on the canvas.
In my works I use precise images of field landscapes and create the “spirit of Israel of the past”. My color and technique assumptions create a nostalgic “story” that connects to each of us.”
