Professor Assad Azi (1955) is a Druze-Israeli painter and poet. His work deals with several main topics: the donkey as a symbol; The woman and the relationship; Self-portrait; Family paintings and more. The artistic technique is mainly collegiate, from France and pastes various materials, maps and house plans as well as musical notes, plus painting and drawing.
Prof. Assad Azi was born in Shefar'am, and lives in Jaffa. He is the eldest of five brothers, to his mother Akbar and his father Siah, a Druze of Lebanese descent. In 1961, when he was five, his father was killed by a Syrian sniper while patrolling a soldier at the Border Police in the north.
His work is influenced by the question of human and political personal identity, from the dilemmas of his identity as an individual and with regard to the polarity of the question of Arabism versus Israeliness and an expression of the sense of cultural-value-stylistic contrast between East and West.
His works have been exhibited in many galleries and museums in Israel and abroad, and are in many collections, including the Israel Jerusalem Museum Collection, the Tel Aviv Museum Collection and the Haifa City Museum.
The works also touch on one of the most painful and complex points: the connection between the Arabic-speaking world and iconoclastic traditions - a painful point because Azi is a painter who celebrates the image. A painter who felt at ease with a nude painting, and with the history of Western art. One solution to this tension is the use of ornamentation. The repeating pattern, the model that unfolds to infinity, is another touch on the boundary line we are talking about. Because it is abstract - but it is something in the world. Is a representation -but difficult to say of what.
Azi's work is important to us because like him she is a house in two worlds. (From the writings of Jonathan Hirschfeld, March 2021)
