Chava Epstein Resume Chava Epstein was born in Jerusalem. She graduated the art department, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem. She is a Member of the Jerusalem association of painters and sculptors. The artist exhibited about 40 solo exhibitions in Israel and abroad, in which she presented a widely diverse corpus of work (two of which were housed in the Israel Museum, one in the Museum of Art in Ein Harod and a few in Space S Gallery, Tokyo, Japan). She participated in many group exhibitions at galleries and museums in Israel and abroad..Today Chava Epstein creates mainly in the following media: etching, painting with oil, ink, watercolor, pastel, painted stones and ceramic sculpturesShe combines her works with her own writing: prose, poetry and script. She published few of her books in English by Amazon. The artist tells about her works: I try to create a whole kingdom of images, legends and dreams for my symbolic figures. In my works I reflect the process of growth and changes which occur in the course of our lives from childhood to elders, particularly unforgettable moments: the powerful, contrasting emotions of happiness and pain; the moment of birth - the creation of new life which reminds me of artistic creation. I try to grasp a turning point where changes happen in life.. Books in English: The Heart's Melody published by Amazon 2014 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JAP2BJY/ref=rdr_kindle_ext_tmbA Hidden Spring published by Amazon 2014http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Spring-Barefoot-Heart-Stories-ebook/dp/B00MCSO6PSThe Vanishing Point published by Amazon 2015http://www.amazon.com/THE-VANISHING-POINT-ITALIAN-Barefoot-ebook/dp/B00X663GX8LARGE SCALE INSTALLATIONSThree woodcut walls, Neve Ya’acob kindergarten Jerusalem 1980A group of bronze sculpture, Ma’alot Dagna kindergarten, Jerusalem 1977Two woodcut walls, Arlozerove kindergarten Jerusalem 1975Solo exhibitions1970 Engel Gallery, Jerusalem1972 Artists’ House, Jerusalem1973 Modus Gallery, Tel-Aviv1974 Shats Gallery, Jerusalem1976 Artists’ House, Jerusalem; Sarith Gallery, Tel-Aviv1977 Israel Museum, Jerusalem1978 Orden Gallery, Ramat Ha-Sharon1979 Safrai Gallery, Tel-Aviv; Li Gallery, netanya1980 Artists’ House, Jerusalem; Gallery Grafics 3, Haifa1982 Gallery 4, Rehovot, Artists’ House, Jerusalem1985 Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Nora Gallery, Jerusalem1986 Arad Museum, Arad1987 Weizman Gallery, Beer-Sheva1988 North Gallery, Long-Island, U.S.A1988 Space S Gallery, Tokyo, Japan1989 Community Center Yad Le-Banim, Ra’anana1990 Beit Ariela, Library of Zion Gate, Tel-Aviv; Mishkan LeOmanut, Museum of Art, Ein-Harod1991 Space S Gallery, Tokyo, Japan1993 Space S Gallery, Tokyo, Japan1994 Artists’ House, Jerusalem1996 Efrat Gallery, Tel-Aviv; Efrat Gay Gallery, Jaffa; Bet Gabriel, Jordan Valley1997 Jerusalem Theater, Jerusalem; Key College, Beer Sheva2000 Philip Leon Matnas, Jerusalem2001 Space S Gallery, Tokyo, Japan2002 Ziv Matnas, Beit hakerem Jerusalem 2003 Beit Belgia, Jerusalem University, Jerusalem; Kastra, Haifa 2004 Landscapes of the imagination, Gerard Behar Center, Jerusalem2006 Reflections, Nobela Herzelia 2008 To the source of the eye, Artists’ House, Jerusalem2018 Women connection, Beit Shmuel, JerusalemSelected Group Exhibitions1973 Tel-Aviv Museum1976 International Exhibition, New Hampshire U.S.A1978 “Simhat Torah” flags, Israel Museum; Young Artists’ Bianala, Haifa Museum; Artists’ House, Amsterdam, Holland1979 Young Artists’ Bianala, Haifa Museum; Childhood Paintings of Israeli Artist, Israel Museum1982 The Embroidery Exhibition, Israel Museum1986 A happy New Year, Israel Museum1987 A Puppet Theater is created, Haifa Museum; International Miniature Exhibition Del-Bello Gallery, Toronto, Canada; Del-Bello Gallery, Toronto, Canada; Mini Print International Cadaques, Spain International Miniature Exhibition 1988 Mini Print International Cadaques, Spain International Miniature Exhibition 1989 Chatach 4, Artists’ House, Jerusalem1990 Del-Bello Gallery, Toronto, Canada1998 Color, Miniatures, Beit Alon, Givatayim, Israel 2000 33x33, Artists’ House, Jerusalem, Israel2003 Jerusalem Theater, Jerusalem, Kastra, Haifa; Beit Ariela, Library of Zion Gate, Tel-Aviv 2007 Opening point, gilo, Jerusalem2008 The Israeli scene, Beit Ariela, Tel Aviv; The faces of eve, International women exhibition, The bible museum, Tel Aviv 2009 Towards tomorrow, women exhibition, Hichal Hatarbut, Modiin2010 Paper artists, Beit Gavriel, Kineret2011 Chava EpsteinResumeChava Epstein was born in Jerusalem.
