David Duvshani (b. 1991, Tel Aviv) works primarily with drawings and artist’s books. Exploring the politics, culture and beliefs embedded in Judaism and the historical Land of Israel. A descendant of a Hasidic family that emigrated to Hebron in 1820 for religious reasons, his practice is rooted in a vision of a shared regional destiny unbound by borders. Interweaving a dynamic fusion of influences and perspectives including political cartoons, war photography, religious iconography and literature. Aiming to illuminate the entanglement of narratives that define and arise from this region and the way they shape contemporary Israeli society.

Duvshani’s works were shown in numerous exhibitions in Israel (Raw-Art Gallery,  Tel-Aviv, Almacen Gallery, Tel-Aviv,  Mishkan Museum of Art, Ein Harod, Nahum Gutman Museum, Tel-Aviv,) and internationally (White Night, Paris, FOURFold Gallery, London, ViaFarini, Milan).  In 2018 his artist book, “Crusades”, was published in France and shown at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris. He recently published his first graphic novel “Bad Butcher” at Tangier-Press.
