Through his hyperrealistic oil portraits of distinctive young women in lush environments, Yigal Ozeri brings an ethereal sensibility to his tableaus. With tinges of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, Ozeri's works engage with contemporary theories of femininity and sensuality while offering a revitalized connectivity to nature.

Ozeri (born 1958, Israel) has extensively shown internationally since 1988. Solo exhibitions have included those in Munich, New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Basel, Vienna, Israel, Paris, Tel Aviv, Salzburg, Madrid, Chicago, London, San Francisco and Athens. His work is included in the permanent collections of the McNay Art Museum (TX), The Tel Aviv Museum of Art (Tel Aviv), the Albertina Museum (Vienna), the Museum of Modern Art (Haifa), the Nerman Museum (MO), the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (NY), the Kennedy Center for the Arts (D.C.) and the New York Public Library (NY), among others. Ozeri lives and works in New York, NY.
