Adi Nes

Adi Nes (Hebrew: עדי נס; born 1966) is an Israeli photographer.

He has had solo exhibitions at Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio[1] and the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.

[9] Nes' early work has been characterized as subverting the stereotype of the masculine Israeli man by using homoeroticism and sleeping, vulnerable figures.

Nes has said that the inspiration for his photography is partially autobiographical: My staged photographs are oversized and often recall well-known scenes from Art History and Western Civilization combined with personal experiences based on my life as a gay youth growing up in a small town on the periphery of Israeli society.Nes lives and works in a small town at the north of Tel Aviv, he and his partner have four surrogate children.

[3] His work is currently sold through Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City and Praz-Delavallade in Paris and Los Angeles.
