Israel, 1934
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.
