George Chemeche Biography

Born in Israel, this ESTABLISHED American painter and PRINTMAKER´s sensual and romantic yet rationally conceived screen prints featuring plants and flowers are associated with the PATTERN & DECORATION movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

In Chemeche´s work, we can see how chosen motifs are repeated in order to cover a surface in a uniform way. The results often have a painterly feel, but remain systematic.

Chemeche trained at the Avni School or Art in Tel Aviv, Israel, and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
