(b. 1922, Safed, Israel –1989, Tel Aviv)

Aviva Uri worked magic on us. More than she is interesting as the great mother of the Israeli painting whose children include both Rafi Lavi and Uri Lafshitz, more than she is interesting as a local myth, the ghost that haunts the house where everyone lives. Her interesting unique and fierce drawing expressions brings a world to paper. And this world is the world of the wild animals that invaded the temple.
