e&oe


Uri was an impressionist with a personal, high-quality and sensitive line, beginning with touching the landscape and continuing with internal landscapes. Her work is characterized by musical and intimate drawing, which seeks the values of the pure line. It is a delicate drawing, whose process is based on hoarding tension and releasing it, pressure and levitation, opacity and airiness, strength and softness. Because of these qualities, her work was called "soul seismograph".

Aviva Uri represented Israel in various exhibitions abroad, including the Venice Biennale (1960) and the 17th Biennale in Sao Paulo (1983).

In 1957 she exhibited for the first time a solo exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
In 1971 the Israel Museum presented a retrospective of her work
In 1977 the Tel Aviv Museum presented a comprehensive solo exhibition of her work.
In 2002, the Museum of Art in Ein Harod presented a retrospective exhibition in her memory.

All these exhibitions established her status as one of the important figures of the new art of Israel.

Aviva Uri has won many awards, including the Dizengoff Prize in 1953, the Sandberg Prize in 1976, and the America-Israel Cultural Foundation in 1986.
