ISAAC MAIMON

"Art is life - or perhaps life is art"

Women meeting in somewhat hazy coffee houses. Colors that are bold and bright. The essence of a true urban scene, a city in which daytime life and night life mingle. It is a warm, gentle and inviting atmosphere. The air is full of hints and promises and secrets just like any self-respecting coffee house.

This is Isaac Maimon's world. The scenes that he paints with consuming passion.

Isaac Maimon paints totally modern works. The bold colors are a pure passion. He is influenced by the Paris school, and he creates works which are absorbing, rich and uniquely Maimon. He is a humanist artist who cannot live without the human touch.

Born in Israel in 1951, to French - speaking parents he exhibited an early artistic ability and was enthusiastically supported by his family. From 1973 to 1976 he attended the Avni Institute of Fine Art in Tel Aviv, the most prestigious academy for the arts in Israel, where Maimon's interest in the Paris school was cultivated and advanced.

He has served as Professor of Arts at Ben Gurion University in Beer - Sheba. His works have been and continue to be exhibited throughout the world.
