Nissan Engel

Born in Haifa, Israel in 1931, Nissan Engel trained primarily in figural and representational painting in Jerusalem, Paris and New York City , each place exerting its influence on his style. Engel’s collages reflect his complex background and draw on all the traditions of the cities in which he has lived, alluding to both music and Jewish mysticism in what he sees as a celebration of harmony. The lively but subtle colors and rich painterly effects found in his art reflect a strong French influence, yet when he interlaces Islamic calligraphy and metallic substances, an exotic opulence appears which also reflects his Middle Eastern background.
