Roy Nachum (b.1979)<br />
Born in 1979, Roy Nachum attended <strong>The</strong> Cooper Union school in New York, USA. He currently lives<br />
and works between New York, USA and Italy. His experimental paintings, installations and sculptures<br />
incorporate elements traditionally used in conceptual and interactive art. His large-scale paintings<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten include Braille text in relief, used to create artwork that is witty, compelling and autonomous.<br />
He views his works as “eye openers”, vehicles through which the viewer is encouraged to confront<br />
their own existential apprehensions. <strong>The</strong> artist starts a painting before leaving the viewer free to<br />
complete it. Indeed, Nachum encourages people to touch and interact with the work, believing that<br />
it is through human interaction that the work lives, the encounter is what breaks down the barrier<br />
between spectator and ‘sacred object’. In 2017, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for best<br />
recording packaging for his art and art direction <strong>of</strong> Rihanna’s acclaimed album ‘Anti’. Nachum’s<br />
work is included in many public and private collections worldwide.<br />
