2014 Group Exhibition,YairArtGallery, Tel AvivUri Stettner, a \"painter\'s painter\" and highly regarded artist, began to consolidate his particular poetics in the late \'70s; characterized by an introverted and melancholic atmosphere with an economic and implied means of painting in subtle and blurred pastel colors, in which \"nothingness\" is more present than \"what exists\".
Artists named Stettner a Master of painters. His works are very sensitive, with airy brush touches in all kinds of blue and green color nuances, mainly, which invites the observer to enter into the intimate world of the artist.
Uri Stettner was an artist in all his being and art was the essence of his life.

Uri Stettnerwas born in Tel Aviv in 1935.
Between 1958 and 1959, he studied atthe Avni Institute.
In 1960 he traveled to Paris and stayed there for about ten years, during which his paintings were exhibited in solo exhibitions and important group exhibitions, among others at the Paris Museum of Modern Art.
In 1965, Stettner and five other artists were invited to represent France at the Paris Biennale.
In 1975 he was awarded the Eugen Kolb Prize for the Tel Aviv Museum.
In 1994, he held aretrospectiveexhibition at the Ein HarodMuseum of Artandthe Herzliya Museum.
He has had solo exhibitions atGordon Gallery, Sara LeviGallery,and Chelouche Gallery.
His works are inthe collections of the Israel Museum,the Tel AvivMuseum,the Haifa Museum of Artand private collections in Israel and abroad.
In 2001, two years after his death, a comprehensive exhibition of his works was held at theMuseum of Israeli Art, Ramat Gan.
In 2006, at the opening of Yair Gallery in Tel Aviv, an exhibition of his works was exhibited.

Style
From the end of the 1970s, his paintings are characterized by a special poetics: his lyrical, refined and melancholic style, whose colors are light and airy, his lines are hovering and dreamy, and his perception is concise.
In the center of his paintings is a solitary figure recorded from a renunciation of defined formality and details.His paintings evoke an introverted and poetic atmosphere, and they seem to see life as though through misty glass.

Yair Garbuz,the prominent Israeli artist,in an article published in the catalog dedicated to Stettner calls Uri Stettner \"painter of painters\":
If the term \"painter of painters\" has not yet been worn out, then Uri Stettner deserves it very much, in every way.
It is possible that such a painter evokes in his colleagues, apart from appreciation and love, a great stimulation for work and an encouraging feeling of ongoing dialogue. I have two of his paintings in my house, and every day I meet them with renewed interest and a feeling that his brush has always been part of my memory... \".
