Avi Yair

For the past thirty years, I have been an active artist living and working in Tel-Aviv. I have exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Israel and abroad. For over ten years, collage and assemblage have been a major part of my work, which encompasses engravings and sculpture as well. I have always been attracted to working with readymade, primarily printed matter dealing with history (both global and personal) and geography such as maps, old atlases and magazines, as well as easily accessible materials. This has given me much artistic freedom in all mediums.
