Curator Experience

2005- Group exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Art, Ramat Gan2006- Group exhibit at the “Soho Gallery”, Dizingoff Center, Tel Aviv Focus Talila Shir paints Israeli landscapes. Most recently, she has been working on images of the Judean Desert, which for her symbolizes a place of personal solitude and connection with the creator. The artist believes that her paintings are an “anti thesis” for modern life that is full of contradictions. A natural landscape acts as an anchor of silence and solitude in the face of media frenzy, information technology, and a reality that offers little security. Shir also sees landscapes as reflections of the human spirit, whose flux is echoed in the ever-changing state of nature.
