In White Umbrella, Arie Azene captures a tranquil moment on a Mediterranean beach with clarity and poetic restraint. Two empty chairs sit beneath a wide white umbrella, facing the gentle waves and sunlit sea—inviting the viewer into a scene of peaceful reflection and timeless stillness.
Departing from his more abstract work, this piece embraces realism while retaining Azene’s signature sensitivity to atmosphere and compositional balance. The harmonious palette of muted blues, warm sand, and soft shadows evokes both presence and absence—a quiet meditation on place and memory.
Arie Azene, a key figure in Israeli modern art and a member of the pioneering New Horizons group, has exhibited internationally since the 1960s. His works appear in leading public and private collections across Israel, Europe, and North America.
This important and unique work is also featured in the comprehensive book published on Azene’s artistic career.
Arie Azene was born in Germany in 1934. He moved to Israel at a young age and grew up in Tel Aviv. During his career as a Master artist he has exhibited in international shows, Museums and Galleries in Israel, Europe and the USA. Many of Azene’s artworks can be found in important private collections. The original paintings that inspired Azene’s 3D mixed media series were painted in watercolours throughout the 80’s. Inspired by these pictures a new series of oil paintings and 3D mixed media artworks were created by Azene in the last few years.
