Udi Aloni, Israeli, born 1959

Udi Aloni was born in Tel Aviv-Yaffo in 1959. His mother is Knesset Member Shulamit Aloni. In 1986, Aloni established the Bograshov Gallery in Tel Aviv-Yafo, which promoted political and avant-garde art. In the mid-1990s, Aloni, in the United States, began producing feature films and documentaries of a political nature. Among these films is the movie "Forgiveness" (2006). In addition to his artistic work, Aloni has published a selection of texts of a political and aesthetic nature. Aloni is married to the artist Sigal Primor.

Aloni's plastic art uses a variety of artistic techniques. In the series of works presented in the exhibition "Doubling the Blank" (1990) he created works with iconographic connections to Christianity and philosophy, using material mixing. Alongside works of this traditional nature, he has created attractive works such as "Re-U-Man" (1996) and new media works involving Jewish iconography with cross-gender imagery.
