Lea Nikel: Path to Eden
Edited by Dr. Adina Kamien
Bilingual Hebrew–English Edition
Lea Nikel’s distinct voice, touch, and tempo are expressed in sundrenched canvases pulsating with energy. Nikel (1918–2005) was a leading figure in Israeli art and a devoted ambassador of international abstraction; in 1995 she was awarded the Israel Prize for Painting. Her works range from riotous to meditative, from dense materiality to sparse surfaces. The catalogue presents the depth and originality of Nikel’s oeuvre, her bold experimentalism, and her vibrant use of color. The essays delve into her extensive use of collage and its relationship to trauma and vision, the motif of winged creatures that preoccupied her, and the artistic influences that shaped her work. Throughout the book, her creations unfold—intimate, colorful, and unmistakably stamped with her singular artistic signature.
