A Brooklyn-based artist from Tel Aviv, Avital Burg creates highly personal works that are anchored in the love of looking out onto the world in and around the studio. Rooted in the tradition of still life and portrait painting and the practice of spending a long time with one’s subject, Burg's paintings emerge from a lengthy process of observation and labor. In recent years, Burg has been focusing on crafting layered and highly textured canvases with immediate, everyday imagery in mind. In particular, street wildflowers from the edges of her Brooklyn neighborhood and the different locations where she travels and paints, self portraits framed by the urban red brick view outside her studio’s window, and mundane objects from the studio.

Burg's work was recently shown solo shows at Browse & Darby in association with Crean and Company, London (2022), Pamela Salisbury Gallery, NY (2021), Slag Gallery, NYC (2017) and Neve Schechter Gallery, Tel Aviv (2019-2020). Her work was part of two-person exhibitions at Arts at AJU, Los Angeles, and Club Caltural Matienzo, Buenos Aires. It was also featured in the Greenpoint Film Festival NY, In the Islip Art Museum, NY, as well as in several group shows in New York and Tel Aviv. She was the May 2022 artist in residence of the Interlude Residency in NY, and of the Peleh Residency in California in 2019. Burg's work are part of many collections world-wide, among them are the Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection, NY, The Bank Leumi art collection, Israel, and Mr. Dov Shiff collection, Israel. Burg attended the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, “Hatahana” school of figurative drawing and painting, Tel Aviv, The Slade School of Art, London, and the New York Studio School.
