Bio
Paz Sher (b. 1988, The Netherlands)
Mixed Media Installation Artist
Sher is an installation artist, sculptor, and educator
who lives and
works in Brooklyn, New York. His installations appear to be playful-mad scenarios, where individual sculptures are structured into hermetic and cryptic systems of objects within ambiguous environments. Through this practice, he crafts experimental encounters that transcend linguistic boundaries, offering glimpses into an exaggerated present to undermine today’s calamities.
Sher graduated with his
Bachelor of Fine Arts cum laude (2017) from the Fine Art department at Bezalel
Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. After graduation, he was a
fellowship artist at the New Gallery Artists' Studios Teddi in Jerusalem. He
also holds an ED.S. Degree (2021) from Kibbutzim College of Education, Technology, and the Arts in Tel-Aviv,
Israel. In 2021, Sher moved to the United States and pursued his Master in Fine
Arts (2024) in the Sculpture and Extended Media Department at Virginia
Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA.
Sher exhibited his work in
many group exhibitions in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Washington D.C, New York, and Richmond, VA. He had two solo shows
at Hamidrasha Gallery in Tel Aviv (2020) and at D.D.D.D. Gallery in Manhattan. Additionally, Sher had a
collaborative duo show with artist Dia Belzer at Atelier Shemi gallery and during his master's, he
displayed his work in two extensive shows - a thesis show at the Anderson
gallery and a candidacy show at an alternative space.
