Roy Mordechay

Roy Mordechay (°1976 in Haifa, Israel)
Lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany

Depending on how you look at Roy Mordechay's work, there is constantly something new to discover in his enigmatic worlds. His art plays with our perception, transforming like puzzle pieces at different angles. Sometimes it is the format itself that reveals a new, deceptive perspective: grained wood inlaid with canvas. So, how does human perception work? This question takes on new meaning, particularly in our modern social media age. New information is constantly rushing through our feeds; we consume hundreds of images in a single day. They are like driftwood in a stream of impressions, with only a few remaining in our minds. Mordechay captures them on pastel-coloured backgrounds after sketching them digitally, their colour gradients reminiscent of digital aesthetics.
