An exhibition exploring the complex reality of the American Dream through the eyes of an immigrant<\/a> artist will open this Thursday in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Israeli-born painter Yigal Ozeri returns to themes of American iconography in his new solo exhibition, Road Trip, debuting October 22 at the Zemack Gallery in Tel Aviv<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The body of work features large-scale paintings of open highways, vintage automobiles, gas stations, diners, motels, and women in denim. Executed in Ozeri\u2019s signature photorealistic style, the works initially resemble photographs but function as a deeper commentary on freedom, nostalgia, and the mythology of the fresh start.<\/p>\n

While the imagery draws on universal symbols popularized by Hollywood cinema, the exhibition is rooted in Ozeri\u2019s personal biography.<\/p>\n

Having immigrated from Israel to New York<\/a> with his family, the artist utilizes these archetypal American backdrops to examine his own lived experience of seeking a new life in the \u201cland of unlimited possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ozeri\u2019s work is represented in major global institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian<\/a> American Art Museum, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opens with a celebratory reception on Thursday, October 22, at 7 p.m. and will run through November 28.<\/p>\n
