About

Tal Nehoray is a multidisciplinary artist based in Israel.

Sometimes an ordinary object suddenly means something else to me - and that’s usually where the work begins.

A pill, a heart, a brain, a hot-water bottle can become a way to look at something less tangible: comfort, loneliness, desire, contradiction, hope.

My work often uses familiar objects and a clean, colorful visual language to explore the distance between what something promises and what we actually feel. I’m interested in that tension - between beauty and discomfort, humor and pain, the obvious and what sits underneath it.

I don’t stick to one material. I use whatever the idea needs - ceramic, fiberglass, plaster, metal, or something else.

I studied art at Tel Aviv University and in private studios in New York and Israel. My work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections around the world.
