Description

Ronald Feldman Fine Arts presents the work of Gil Yefman in his first New York solo exhibition. Most known for his ambiguous knitted sculptures and animated films, Yefman aims to give a voice to the unheard and bring their stories to the center of attention. By creating characters with elusive gender and sexual identities, and fantastic realms in which they can exist, Yefman challenges society’s traditional definitions of gender and how we portray the people who fall outside of them. In his short but prodigious career, Yefman has created a new language for himself out of the human form and wielded it to examine the connections between violence, sexuality, and “otherness.”
