Artist Bio

Liora Kaplan creates sculptural works and environments which she sees as “landscapes of silence” —conveying simultaneously the sense of embarking on a journey to an ancient temple and an unknown future. Within her last two institutional exhibitions, Kaplan’s eclectic totems explore how certain materials, shapes, and textures are drawn to each other, revealing their inner movements and a yearning to connect. Through juxtapositions of found objects, fabricated elements, and materials and techniques, Liora honors the history of craft and constructs conceptual shrines that preserve the legacies of artisans who came before her. Her recent solo exhibitions include, KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky (2023); CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo (2021); and Rozin Community Center, Tel Aviv-Yafo (2017). Group exhibitions include Sotheby’s, NY (2021), Ramat Hasharon Gallery, Tel Aviv (2020), Beit Ha’ir Tel Aviv (2020), CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo (2020), Braverman Gallery, Tel Aviv (2019) among others. Liora’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art; ST-ART, Israel; Galila Barzilai, Brussels; and in private collections around the world. www.liorakaplan.com
