Rotem Amizur was born in New York in 1988 and currently lives and works in New York. She graduated from the Jerusalem Studio School Master Class in 2013. In 2009 and 2010, she participated in the Italy Master Class Programs instructed by Israel Hershberg, Stuart Shils, and Ken Kewley. In 2023, she held her first museum exhibition at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art and published her first artist book to accompany the show. Amizur has received the Henrion Award for painting from the Hampstead Art Society in London, and her work is included in private and public collections worldwide. Her artistic process begins with close observation of the world around her, but it never ends there. Instead, it moves into a space where reality and imagination overlap, shift, and reshape one another. In recent years, collage has become central to her practice, a medium through which she explores color and form simultaneously by cutting, assembling, and reconfiguring. Each painting captures a distilled moment of recognition, when color and shape align into something that feels both precise and unexpected. “What I do is close my eyes and then open them again. I imagine that I had just been born, just at that moment, that I’m really seeing for the first time ever.” Rotem Amizur, The Flatland Artist Book, 2023 *** Amizur's artwork is currently showing at Miriam restaurant, 140 Seventh Ave South and La Farine, 2394 Broadway***
