Beni Gassenbauer

 

Beni Gassenbauer was born in France in 1949 and settled in Jerusalem in

 

1976.

 

His vocational training was developed by attending the workshops and 

 

lessons of leading Israeli art teachers (Marek Yanai, Bezalel Academy of Art; 

 

Nahada Gafni; Tami Bezaleli; Derek Stein).

 

Beni always preferred watercolor because this medium enables him to depict 

 

the morning light, the deep dark shadow and the harsh mediterraneen sun, to 

 

show the contrasts of colors, space and details, and the transparency of air 

 

and water.

 

His subjects are always painted from reality, accentuating its poetical side 

 

and transmitting to the audience Beni’s deep feelings of quietness and peace.

 

Beni exhibits in several well known galleries in Israel, Switzerland, Canada. 

 

His paintings have been sold to collectors in different parts of the world, and 

 

he has presented numerous exhibitions in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, New York, 

 

Lausanne, Paris and Strasbourg.
