RECLAIM ARTWORK BY RONEN AZULAY

Ronen Azulay

Born Haifa, Israel, 1973

an Israeli-born artist, azulay stays true to his origins—where he comes from both physically and spiritually—while continuing to push personal boundaries by incorporating new elements in his work. Investigating philosophical and symbolic narratives about identity, shape, transformation and adaptation, azulay creates handcrafted one-of-a-kind textile works. His expressive, abstract, and figurative works often focus on themes like the past and the present, origin and migration, family history and personal identity

azulay seeks to contribute to a healthy cultural ecosystem that is focused on sustainability. Informed by his early career as a men’s fashion designer, his practice examines the role of the consumer in our world of mass production. Using repurposed cast-off denim, leather, and textiles, Azulay’s work actively disrupts the relentless cycle of manufacturing and consumption. With his technical skills and informed eye, he further processes and transforms the materials and incorporates found objects to create a new vernacular

living and working in New York City, azulay attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and built a career for himself in the fashion industry before founding his eponymous atelier in 2018. Azulay’s work has been presented at fine art exhibitions across the country, including art Basel miami. He has created installations for Louis Vuitton, saks fifth avenue, madewell and bloomberg
