Tzivi Geva has been one of Israel's outstanding artists since the 1980's.  In his paintings Geva performs a double act on the cultural symbols related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The symbols in Tzivi’s paintings are drawn from every day objects and cultural signifiers fixed in public awareness, such as floor tiles, backgammon, a kefiah, flowers and birds. The objects drawn in Geva’s paintings are stripped of their natural colours and defining lines, and turn into a set of geometric shapes spread across the entire canvas.
