The Artistic Vision of Avner Ben-Gal

Avner Ben-Gal was an Israeli international painter and artist who worked primarily from Tel Aviv, Israel.

Within these settings, Ben-Gal presents figures that are bare, hardened, ghostly, and rough-hewn, often characterized as low life. The raw nature of his painting technique works in tandem with his tough and ambiguous subject matter to create a unique sense of intensity.
