Artist Statement:
Born in Tunis in 1954, Moti
Sagron immigrated to Israel at
the age of 14. After his army
service, Mr. Sagron studied
at the Bezalel Academy of Art
in Jerusalem under leading
Israeli artists, such as
painters Uri Lipschitz, Yoram
Meroz, Moshe Agmon, Ivan
Schweibel, Amos Kenan, and
sculptor Ezra Orion.
Mr. Sagron has taught art at
community colleges, high
schools, immigrant programs,
hospices, and has directed
community centers in the
Negev. His years of community
work give strength and depth
to Mr. Sagron's paintings. On
many of his canvasses we see
the effects of global
political cynicism, poverty,
sub-standard education, and
the continuing Israeli-Arab
conflict. Mr. Sagron makes
the obvious connections
politics and the life of the
average citizen. He works from
the bottom up – in the
backwater towns of the desert
and on the streets of the
struggling center of the
Negev, Be'er Sheva. His
canvasses are layered, and
profoundly informed about
social issues. ...
