The Space Art Gallery
A Home for Israeli Artists
A unique platform that serves as a home for contemporary Israeli art — bold, diverse, and thought-provoking. We create living connections between local artists and audiences in Israel and around the world, driven by a belief in the power of art to move, inspire, and offer a new perspective.
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” — Thomas Merton
Coming Home
The exhibition “Coming Home” seeks to explore the notion of home—as a physical, emotional, and cultural space. In the artists’ works, home appears both as a meeting point and as a place of return. It carries with it feelings of belonging and security, but also of longing and loss.
The artworks unfold a world of familiar landscapes, intimate images, and hints of personal and collective experiences, resonating with the tension between rootedness and the desire to move forward.
At this time, when Israeli society lives in a state of unrest and in yearning for the return of the hostages home, the exhibition takes on an additional dimension of longing, yearning, and belonging.

Spotlight - Fouad Agbaria
My work navigates the tension between personal and collective memory, exploring the landscapes of my childhood alongside questions of identity, belonging, and culture. Musmus, the village where I was born and raised, is a central source of inspiration—its za’atar fields, vetch meadows, prickly pear paths, and livestock herds serve as visual traces of memory, reflecting a deep connection to land and roots. The cactus appears repeatedly in my work as a layered symbol: a protective wall, a thorny barrier, yet also a bearer of sweet fruit. Through it, I express contrasts—life and death, preservation and ruin, pain and hope.
My practice examines how traditional cultural motifs merge with contemporary artistic language. In series like Letters and Poems, I integrate texts from Mahmoud Darwish and other Palestinian poets with ornamental patterns and geometric designs, creating new connections between script and visual memory. The tension between symmetry and fragmentation, decoration and emotional weight, raises questions about cultural identity within a shifting landscape.
Ultimately, my art is an attempt to reconstruct, preserve, and give space to what remains—a silent testimony to the existence of personal and collective worlds where beauty and pain are inseparably intertwined.
