Read MoreElena Gorn (b. 1978, Moscow) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Tel Aviv, Israel. Her practice develops at the intersection of abstract painting, object-based practice, and spatial form. She works through artistic research, material experimentation, embodied action, and interaction with the external environment.
Her work engages with memory, migration, the fragility of identity, and belonging to place. Personal experience serves as a point of departure, while social and urban contexts provide a broader framework for the work. In her recent projects, local soil, canvas, bodily pressure, repetition, rupture, stitching, suspension, and tension become part of a material language through which questions of presence and temporary stability are explored.
Gorn’s professional background in graphic design and visual communication continues to inform her attention to structure, rhythm, and the internal organization of the artistic process. She studied at the Moscow School of Contemporary Art (MSCA), programme “Artistic Practices,” and at SHOV School of Contemporary Art. Her work has been presented in exhibitions in Tel Aviv and Moscow and featured in international publications.
