Ohad Meromi
Ohad Meromi was invited to the Neiman Center to work on a graduate MFA project, which resulted in, Black Box I-III, a series of color offset lithographs. Each image explores a visual narrative set within a theatrical space. The artist combines architectural references to expand on a postmodernist interpretation of performance and its setting of presentation, namely, the stage.
