Ilan Dotan is an Israeli painter based in Tel Aviv. He studied at the New York Studio School and under the Israeli painter, Jan Rauchwerger. Ilan uses traditional mediums (oil paints, linen) to render the subject matter of contemporary daily life. The essence of color is repeatedly vivid in his work yet controlled drawing techniques are always admirably present as well. Ilan has lived and exhibited his work in New York and in Tel Aviv, where he has worked in a painting studio for the past ten years.
