Oren Pinhassi

Oren Pinhassi is an Israeli sculptor who lives and works in New York City. Pinhassi is known for an approach to sculpting which creates a liminality between monuments and mundane objects. He often incorporates household objects, such as toothbrushes or plastic furniture coverings, paired with large scale work made from stone, sand, and bronze. His 2021 exhibition with Helena Anrather was titled Lone and Level, a line from Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem Ozymandias.[2]

Career

Through his sculptural work, Pinhassi deals with queer spaces. Veronica Esposito describes this in The Guardian "as areas where things don’t sit exactly right, where individuals can become porous and vulnerable in ways that aren’t possible in heteronormative spaces." He also addresses notions of vulnerability and mourning as central themes in his work.[5]
