Merav Kamel & Halil Balabin
Merav Kamel and Halil Balabin are a Tel Aviv-based collaborative duo working together since 2012. Their artistic practice is the outcome of their collective intuition; they follow their instincts to create works that combine absurdity and humor with history, sexuality, and fantasy. Their work is frequently rooted on an inner joke or ironic anecdotes from their daily lives that mix into widespread critical claim. They use with such as fabric, wood, metal, and ceramic to create sculptural dolls and large-scale drawing installations.
Merav Kamel & Halil Balabin have exhibited work at Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Summlung Philara, Düsseldorf; and ZONAMACO Art fair, Mexico City, among others.
