Guided tour of the exhibition Ilana Dotan: Shelf Life (in Hebrew)

Recipient of the 2025 Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art

The breathtaking charcoal and graphite drawings created by Ilana Dotan (b. 1967) are shaped by a magical, seemingly photographic form of realism. Her technical mastery captures the textures, materiality, and transparencies of inexpensive, industrialized objects found in the domestic sphere. Dotan replaces the traditional arrangements of 17th-century still-life painting with contemporary packaging materials, whose marginal existence represents a fast-paced, distraction-filled consumer culture.
