Drew Tal grew up in the Middle East in the 1960s in the early stages of Israel+-IBk-s statehood, granting him exposure to a cosmopolitan mix of cultures, races, and languages. Tal uses collage-esque techniques in his work to layer photographs in a contemporary and highly personal hybrid. Tal+-IBk-s work focuses on exploring the nuances and ways of life of individuals existing within cultures outside of his own, and combines a fascination with aesthetic beauty and cultural symbolism in his depictions of children and Islamic women. Through photography captured during his extensive travels, Tal uses the historical and cultural significance of textiles juxtaposed before the powerful and direct gazes of his subjects+-IBQ-insisting acknowledgement and and reconsideration of previously established biases. Through his work, Talcelebrates diversity within modern life and the ability to transcend racial boundaries through visual, non-verbal mediums. Tal+-IBk-s work has been shown in numerous, renowned galleries around the world, in locations such as New York, Lille, Toronto, and Santa Fe. This work is signed and in very good condition.
