Vered Gersztenkorn

Vered Gersztenkorn Born in Israel, 1964 Vered Gersztenkorn is a self-taught painter whose practice has evolved through sustained independent inquiry and a deep engagement with abstract visual language. Her early works incorporated childlike iconography, expressive chromatic intensity, intuitive line, and layered compositions integrating text and gesture within a loosely abstract framework. Over time, figuration gradually dissolved, giving way to a fully abstract vocabulary. Today, her paintings are process-oriented and materially driven: a line, a stain, or a chromatic event initiates the work, unfolding into a dynamic internal structure shaped by tension, erasure, accumulation, and release. Gersztenkorn’s practice inhabits the liminal space between the conscious and the unconscious, intention and surrender, opacity and transparency. The canvas becomes a site of negotiation—where control is both asserted and relinquished—allowing the painting to arrive at its own equilibrium. She has presented her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Israel, Europe, the United States, and Mexico, and her works are held in private collections internationally.
