Tel Aviv Artists House is set to include ‘Nofei HaZman’, a solo exhibition by Hanan Shvili, in its August 2026 programme. According to the institution’s announcement and exhibition page, the show opens on Thursday, 13 August 2026, at 19:00 and runs until Saturday, 5 September 2026, at 14:00. The gallery’s material describes the presentation as a body of black-and-white paintings and drawings in which the Israeli landscape shifts between abstraction and figuration.
The exhibition is curated by Gabi Yair. In the Artists House text, Shvili’s work is described as drawing on her attachment to the Jerusalem landscape, while moving between forceful expressiveness and softer restraint. Sparse touches of colour are set against dominant greys, blacks and tonal gradations, with the image repeatedly hovering at the edge of legibility. The page says that the artist uses erasure and covering as part of her compositional process, giving the landscapes a blurred, layered character.
‘Nofei HaZman’ is presented as part of a wider August sequence at Tel Aviv Artists House. The same opening date and closing date apply to several exhibitions listed in the institution’s newsletter, which groups together a number of solo shows by different artists. The newsletter frames the month’s programme as a response to a difficult and unstable period, but the verified exhibition pages focus on each project individually and its specific visual language.
For Shvili, the landscape is not treated as a fixed view but as something unstable and shifting. The exhibition text says the realistic image undergoes a process of blurring and masking, appearing only in hints, as if emerging through fog. That approach places the work within a recognisably local visual tradition while also pushing it toward a more universal, almost abstract register.
The Artists House material also places Shvili in relation to earlier Israeli landscape drawing traditions, naming Anna Ticho and Leopold Krakauer as reference points while stressing that she follows her own path. In that account, the work does not idealise landscape; instead, it introduces tension, memory and fracture into the image. The resulting drawings and paintings are described as a sustained inquiry into place, time and perception.
The exhibition page ends by inviting viewers to pause before what it calls “moments in time.” Tel Aviv Artists House lists the exhibition with free admission at its address on Elcharizi Street in Tel Aviv-Yafo, with regular visiting hours also posted on the site.
