Arie Aroch (in Hebrew ???? ????; born 1908, in Russia – October 15, 1974, in Israel) was an Israeli painter and diplomat born in Kharkov, which was part of the Russian Empire (today part of Ukraine).
Aroch's work was a mixture of Pop Art and abstract art, along with elements from his biography.
In addition, many scholars of the history of Israeli art have pointed out Aroch's pioneering use of Jewish themes in his works.
His painting style included unstructured scribbling and drawing, and it influenced a broad range of artists, including Raffi Lavie, Aviva Uri, etc.
Sarah Breitberg Semel, in her article, Agrippa versus Nimrod (1988), suggested Aroch as a model for the new Israeli concept of design in art, and suggested his painting, Agrippas Street was the representative of Jewish identity.
In 1971, Aroch was awarded the Israel Prize in Painting for his work.
