| Biography | |
Tal Dvir, 41, resident of southern California, establishing his career painting impressionism to realism contemporary style. Seeking for own style and looking to stay true to His painting passion, Tal is striving to paint anything he feels inspired with... Emphasize on perfection (pre-paint studies) impresses the viewer through deep contrasts.
The right light and shade creates the illusion of reality through smooth to fast and almost abstract brush strokes. Tal showed in several group exhibitions in Israel as well as in California.
Tal exhibited a natural talent for art by the age of 3 when his mother began supporting him to develop his talent.
At 16, he was admitted to the prestigious âWitzoâ Art School in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he discovered the technical skill-sets necessary to compliment his natural abilities, practiced under professor Rosen, famed for his anatomical drawings and realistic compositions. After graduating school he served three years compulsory service in the Israeli army, experiencing the deep suffering and hostile world of the Middle Eastern geopolitics first hand. The experience had a profound, lasting impact on Talâs approach to his art. "Living and bonding 24/7 with the same people for three years in a perpetually hostile environment gave me self-awareness, a truer sense of my own complexities that manifests in the way the brush hits the canvas". As a young artist looking to be involved in the art world, he moved there after to Tel Aviv and studied two years in âMeimadâ visual art school. Then, continued studying for two years until graduation in âKalisherâ art school with reputable and respected art teachers â Maya Cohen-Levi, late Michale Segen-Cohen, and Asaf Ben-Zvi among others.
Tal is somewhat a city boy, nevertheless, always attracted to the country sites.
Passing most of his mature life in Tel Aviv, and then one year in New York, he decides to move to Ztfat in the north of Israel, attracted to wilder natural landscapes, different than the city views he got used to growing up.
Inspired by the great local landscapes, Tal incorporated the views' details in his impressionist style that was influenced mainly by the great masters: Velasquez, Degas, Pissaro and others.
In 2000, after having exhibiting his art works in several group shows, bars and cafés around Tel- Aviv, Tal had his first big exhibition âDialogueâ, as a joined show with his friend the artist Juan Carlos Bronshtane, at the âAmalia Arbel galleryâ in Tel- Aviv, showing 10 large oil paintings on canvas.
The name of the exhibition - âDialogueâ - represents the dialogue in the art sense between the two friends who reacted one to each otherâs painting.
Tal moved with his wife and two kids to US in 2006.
Currently concentrating on a series of figures, landscapes and seascapes he continues to follow his favorite style - contemporary realism impressionism.
Tal's paintings express figures in everyday's life scenes as well as pre-
directed poses, along with landscapes that are inspired by the California's great outdoors.
Tal Dvir is an artist who knows his way through his art and who had accomplished to find during last two years his painting style that he sought through his entire art career.
Tal Dvir lives and creates in Irvine California, inspired by the Californian cities and landscapes. |

| Style Impressionism |
|
| An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise. |
