Auction 48 Contemporary Israeli Art | A New Generation of Artists
Jun 13, 2026
Israel

At the 48th auction, KooKoo continues to bring together collectors and a new generation of contemporary artists - creators with a distinct personal voice and a developing artistic language, who work with depth, precision and presence.


In this sale, we will introduce you to four young and promising artists -

Marloes Hakkers, a figurative painter whose works range from portraiture, still life and landscape through a sensitive exploration of light, form and perception,

Ayelet Polak, who presents poetic landscape paintings born from a direct encounter with nature and seeks to capture moments of light, silence and introspection,

Marina Bethel Levitan, who presents works that deal with time, memory and consciousness through a figurative pictorial language with an affinity for abstraction and a sense of dramatic mystery, and

Ruta Langford, who creates minimalist and quiet paintings in which light, space and everyday objects are charged with intimate and meditative meaning.


Sveta Shelest will present a series of mesmerizing war embroideries, in which black humor, irony, and the delicacy of craftsmanship come together to form a charged, sharp, and disturbing body of work.


Erez Pliscov, one of the young and intriguing voices currently active in the field of contemporary realism, will present five masterpieces that demonstrate extraordinary technical mastery alongside emotional depth and a mature pictorial language that goes far beyond performance virtuosity.


Franco Huamán will present four new works inspired by flamenco culture — a captivating body of work that combines classical pictorial virtuosity with emotional power and dramatic movement.


Daniel Zuberi will present four phenomenal watercolor works of flowers, combining extraordinary mastery of classical realism with contemporary sensitivity and poetic imagination.


The sale seeks to bring together collectors and a new generation of contemporary artists - artists with a distinct voice and a developing language, who are at the beginning of a significant artistic path. It is an opportunity to discover quality works by promising voices just before their broad breakthrough into the art field.

Roni Yoffe (1985), lives and works in Ramat Gan, Israel.

A realist painter.
Earns a living from painting and teaching, and manages the largest online painter community in Israel that supports painters and painters called '' a painting school '' (the community group can be found on Facebook).
'' My paintings are a study of materials and symbolism of various objects, with an emphasis on the Israeli-Jewish mentality and sometimes humorously interspersed with popular cultural motifs. To me humans are by nature "idolaters" - our objects symbolize, remind and curate the meanings we give them. They tell a story without words, without movement and without voice. They are valuable or everyday, nostalgic or status symbols, and are mostly sensual. They awaken our senses to a storytelling or spiritual experience: from the mezuzah to the last lemons, everything still contains meaning for us - aesthetic, ideological, personal or collective.
The objects are symbols, the symbols become associations and the associations become a memory of an experience, and together, in the new combination of painting - they become a personal and layered experience.
Engaging in silent narratives as story elements is fascinating.
The ability to tell a story or express a position with the help of objects and colors only allows play in metaphors and allegories without being too verbal.
The inanimate objects are actors on stage.
The intense connection to living and changing nature allows the work to receive content that is ongoing, the final painting being the total occurrence of the work - the changing lighting conditions combined with the mood combined with an artistic vision. ''
