Roy Nachum





Roy Nachum (born 1979, Jerusalem) is a contemporary New York based artist.

Nachum studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and at The Cooper Union School of Art in New York. He is primarily a painter in oil but works in a variety of media including sculpture and installation. Nachum approaches questions of sense and perception, visual and tactile from several vantage points. The photo realistic oil paintings illustrate surrealistic images, which employ Braille and a “double vision” technique that is intended to challenge those with sight to question the limitations of their vision. Encouraging observers to touch the work, the pieces incorporate poems from the artist written in braille, expressing the emotional component of the painting. Nachum believes that art should be accessible to everybody, even those who are visually impaired. Joseph Nahmad Contemporary represents Nachum in New York.
