Fatma Shanan (b. 1986, Julis, Israel) is a figurative painter, mostly using oil on canvas. Her works are characterized by theatrical and enigmatic views on pre-staged scenes, in which participants belong to various circles of her own life. Shanan’s art strives to deconstruct firm definitions concerning the art of painting, as well as gender, national and ethnic identities. By this deconstruction, Shanan suggests fluid definitions that can flow through these different realms. Shanan is the winner of the 2016 Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art awarded by the Tel Aviv Museum, where she had a solo exhibition in 2017. She exhibited solo at DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM Gallery, Berlin (2023, 2021) and more. Shanan exhibited in group shows at Kunsthaus museum Zurich (2023); the Contemporary Art Museum of Villa Croce, Italy (2022); The Museum for Islamic Art, Jerusalem (2020); The Israel Museum, Jerusalem (2019); the Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv (2019); and Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris (2018) among others.
