Cultural/Historical Context

Amram Ebgi was born in Morocco in 1939. He immigrated to Israel in 1951. Ebgi was “discovered” in 1958 and received a scholarship to study art at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. After fighting in the Israeli Six Day War, he continued to study at Pratt Graphic Art Center in New York, where he developed a love for printmaking; etching, intaglio, silk screen, relief, and epoxy modeling. He is a true technician who skillfully translates rare and delightful concepts with inks onto paper. He has been considered a visionary whose imagination combines warmth of sensitive feelings with light and the complexities of life with subtle structure.
