Shy Abady is an Israeli artist (born in 1965 in Jerusalem). Over the years, Abady created “biographical” series, which followed individual figures (including, Nijinsky, Hannah Arendt and Radu Klapper, Paul Celan).Other series addressed historical-political themes (Including, “My Other Germany”, “Augusta Victoria”, “Back to the Levant”).In some other series, (” Icon – the Golden Age”, “The Return of Desire”), Abady examines the language of art itself and the aesthetic influences and relationships between Western-Christian art and Jewish-Israeli art.
