In his works, personal, mythological, historical and political narratives intersect and are interwoven. One of the main principles in his creations is the use of a model – creating an organized pattern of fixed activity, which characterizes traditional techniques. In recent years, the artist uses this principle with traumatic images as well. In their repeated appearances, these images turn into ornament and hint at the danger of repression and forgetting, and at mankind’s coping with tragic historic narratives.
Yefman’s work examines the danger that lurks at the door of the artist who seeks visual pleasure. While adopting practices of grotesquerie, humor and provocation, Yefman’s works create art that is exciting, evocative and moving. Yefman has presented exhibitions in various galleries in Israel, New York, Taipei and Tokyo.
