Biography
Born in Tel-Aviv, Ron Gilad lives and works in New York City. His hybrid objects combine material wit with aesthetic play and straddle the line between the abstract and the functional. Gilad is fascinated with philosophizing on the objects we live with. His work, which varies from one-off to limited editions and production pieces, has no expiry date and resides in both public and private collections worldwide. Gilad continuously asks questions in 3D form and fabricates answers that create an arena for fertile doubt.
