Boaz Parnas (born 7 February 1998)[1] is an Israeli-German visual artist based in London. He works across painting, sculpture, and installation.[1]
Education
[edit]Parnas studied at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, graduating with a BFA (Hons) in Fine Arts in 2024.[2] Between 2022 and 2023 he attended The Glasgow School of Art on an Erasmus+ exchange.[1]
Career
[edit]In 2023, Parnas participated in Draw Me a Fist, a touring exhibition of protest posters presented across public sites in Israel, curated by Prof. Ido Bruno and Eran Lederman. The exhibition was reviewed in Haaretz and in the art journal Erev Rav.[3][4] A photograph from the exhibition, including a work by Parnas, appeared on the cover of Political Art in Israel by art historian Gideon Ofrat (Levin Press, 2023).[5]
In 2024, Parnas participated in Innocence Disrupted: Children in Wartime, a public exhibition organised by Parents Against Child Detention (PACD), presented across multiple sites in Israel. Coverage of the exhibition appeared in Haaretz, The Forward, and on Channel 12 (Keshet 12), Israel's primary national broadcaster.[6][7][8]
In 2025, Parnas presented solo exhibitions in London and Jerusalem. No Plaice Like Home, shown at COLAB Tower as part of Side/Step Festival, was reviewed in FAD Magazine by Moses MacIntyre, who described the work as staging a "delicate synthesis born of the uneasy dialectics" between contradiction and resolution.[9] His duo exhibition Monster Truck at CBS Gallery, Liverpool was reviewed in Corridor8 by Mia Stoces-Brown.[10] He also showed work in Parliament of Things at Purist Gallery, London, as part of the London Design Festival.[11]
In 2026, Parnas co-presented Mean Images with Carmi Dror at the Exterior Gallery, Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem, curated by Dr. Hagit Keisar. The exhibition, which examined AI-generated imagery in relation to painting, was reviewed in Erev Rav by Ofek Kanfo.[12]
Online projects
[edit]In 2016, Parnas co-founded the Facebook page Garlic Bread Memes, which was covered by The Washington Post and The Independent.[13][14]
