Yigal Ozeri's "Road Trip" Opens at Zemack Gallery in Tel Aviv
Yigal Ozeri’s solo exhibition “Road Trip” opened at Zemack Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv on Thursday, October 22. Running through November 28, 2026, it brings the Israeli artist’s photorealistic painting to a subject familiar from American cinema: the journey along the open road.
A new exhibition with a personal connection
Roadside settings become a way of exploring ideas about opportunity and starting again. The gallery connects that theme to Ozeri’s move from Israel to New York with his family in 1991. Visitors are being offered an interpretation of the American Dream, rather than a documentary itinerary of the artist’s travels.
Advance coverage in The Jerusalem Post highlighted the contrast between the paintings’ photographic appearance and their interest in freedom and nostalgia. For a visitor, that provides a straightforward starting point: look at what first seems like a captured moment, then consider the choices involved in painting it.
No specialist introduction is needed to make that comparison. It gives viewers a question to carry through the exhibition without requiring them to accept a single reading of the images.
