Efrat Yaron
Efrat Yaron, multidisciplinary artist (painting, installation, video art). Born in 1977, grew up and lives in Tel Aviv, started practicing art in high school, has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in design and art. Served as a lecturer for visual communication and creative thinking, presented in group exhibitions in Israel, London and Spain as well as solo exhibitions of site-specific installations.
Main techniques: acrylic on large canvases, large-scale installations characterized by painstaking and meticulous craft in a unique language. Dealing with a challenging Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) led to solutions that would allow functioning in a turbulent and gripless inner world. The attempt to silence external noises led to the development of a technique that combines borders, divisions and flattening. Basic issues flatten into a formal and interpretive reduction. Nature, sea, pool, city, family, characters, and houses converge into patterns, strips, and the flattening of the spaces of life bustling outside and inside.
