Yitzhak Livneh is an Israeli painter. Born in 1952, he lives and works in Tel Aviv, and has become an influential figure in Israeli painting through both his artistic practice and his teaching at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, where he previously headed the Fine Art Department. His paintings often combine painterly gestures with slogans, advertisements, and visual references drawn from everyday life, creating layered works that explore perception, media, and the instability of meaning. Livneh has exhibited widely in Israel and internationally, including at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Israel Museum, and has received several major awards, including the Israeli Ministry of Culture Prize.
