Shay Zilberman

Shay Zilberman lives and works in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, to which he returned after a long sojourn in Europe, where he studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, in Paris and the Fashion Design Department of the Royal Academy in Antwerp. His works have been shown in group and solo exhibitions worldwide, including Factor 44 Gallery in Antwerp, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. In 2021 he was named recipient of the Ann & Ari Rosenblatt Prize for Visual Art in Israel.
Shay’s artistic practice is centered on manual collage, which he utilizes to weave culture, nature, and man together, creating a stratified world which oscillates between the personal and the collective, using paper and scissors. In addition to paper, Zilberman uses various other materials, such as textile, and diverse techniques, including printmaking and sculpture. His work constantly changes, expanding its boundaries as it evolves and redefining itself each time anew.
