Talia Keinan, born in 1978, is a Tel Aviv-based artist known for her transformative works in drawing, video, and installation. Her art constructs immersive, poetic spaces where light and sound play pivotal roles, turning everyday objects into mystical, evocative scenes. Inspired by artists like James Turrell, Keinan treats light as a “material” with physical presence, blending reality and fantasy to create dreamlike settings. Her pieces, such as a man pulling lights from the ground or a donkey with its head in a bucket, reveal the extraordinary within the mundane, inviting viewers to experience an autonomous world where elements seem to act on their own. A graduate of the Bezalel MFA program and an alum of the School of Visual Arts in New York, Keinan has exhibited at leading institutions, including the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and Goch Museum in Germany. Her works are part of significant collections, including The Israel Museum and Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Keinan’s honors include the Anselm Kiefer Prize for young artists (2006) and the Nathan Gottesdiener Israeli Art Prize (2007), marking her as a distinguished voice in contemporary Israeli art.
