Art is Play



One Man Exhibition at Hertzliya Museum of Contemporart Art



October 17, 2025 to February 14, 2026



For over three decades, Hanoch Piven has been crafting iconic assemblage portraits from everyday objects, which encapsulate the story behind the represented figure and offer a multi-layered artistic, design, and psychological reading.


Piven’s exhibition at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art invites viewers to an experience of observation, experimentation, playfulness, and self-exploration based on methods for cultivating creativity and freeing the imagination, developed by Piven in his workshops, combined with art therapy approaches.
