Amir Nave (b. 1974, Be'er Sheva, Israel) is an artist, an Arab-Jew of Iraqi descent. He is been active since 2006, and in recent years he has been living and creating in Israel and Paris.
The main themes in Naves’ works deal with the relationship between the past and the current decline of human society; Perceptions of eternity;The power balance between people and within the human soul itself; The connection between the human and the animalistic; etc. The destruction and chaos take place in the painting itself, and a struggle is evident between the fullness bursting from bodies and heads and a deliberate and precise emptiness.
Nave's works have been exhibited, among others, in the Israel Museum, Tel Aviv Museum, Herzliya Museum, Sommer Gallery, In Situ Gallery - Fabienne Leclerc in Paris, Shin Gallery in New York, Continua Gallery - Les Moulins in France as well as in important art fairs such as Asia Now, Art Basel, Fiac in Paris andFrieze in New York. His works were purchased for important art collections in Israel and around the world. Nave is represented by In Situ-Fabienne Leclerc gallery in Paris and Chelouch Contemporary Art Gallery in Israel.
