Featuring RU artist-in-residence Yoav Weinfeld in the RU Voices interview series 🎤
Yoav Weinfeld is a multimedia artist and curator working across painting, installation, and video. His work creates systems where material, surface, and light shift constantly to question the essence of the image, its politics and function, and its relationship to emotional states such as numbness, repressed aggression and loss. Drawing from personal narratives, corporate aesthetics and digital imagery, he explores the fragile relationship of representation and reality. His recent work explores how historical moments transform theoretical questions about representation into lived, urgent realities of trauma. Weinfeld’s process blends fluids, humor, and sexuality with a deadpan tone, balancing playfulness and anxiety. Using airbrush and hand-cut stencils, he creates high-tech surfaces, surrendering control to gravity and viscosity. His work invites viewers to confront the tension of mechanical precision and the raw realities of failure, where memory, perception, and materiality collide.
✨ Yoav’s paintings are on view in the exhibition “Whispers in Plain Sight” on Governors Island for one more weekend (September 27–28). Come see it at the RU House at 404B Colonels Row!
Yoav’s residency is made possible with support from Artis.
