Summary

1. Book and parallel exhibition is the first retrospective of the paintings by mid-career, Yishai Jusidman (b. Mexico, 1963). His work draws on seventeenth-century portraiture and modern monochrome; a naturalistic still lifes and action painting, a Renaissance technique of tempera and digital electrostatic printing. His artistic production combines visual richness with conceptual rigor and historical breadth. The exhibition includes selections from each of the shows produced since 1987 and will include about 70 pieces in a wide range of formats and scales, from collections in Mexico, Latin America, USA and Europe.
