Roee Rosen

[citation needed] His work has been described by Hila Peleg for Documenta 14 (2017) as creating " ... an artistic universe that treacherously undermines the normative implications of identities and identifications through fictionalization, irony, and revision.

Using a vast array of fictional characters and iconographic motifs and codes, Rosen frequently refers to, and transforms, not only the canon of the historical avant-garde and transgressive traditions from the Marquis de Sade to Georges Bataille, but also popular media, political propaganda, and classic children's fairy tales.

"[citation needed] In both art and writings Frank combined explicit erotic imagery with Jewish tropes and magical elements, thus assuming a highly polemic and disturbing position.

[citation needed] Rosen's second major fictional artist is Maxim Komar-Myshkin (1978–2011), a pseudonym for Russian emigrant poet and painter Efim Poplavsky, born in 1978 and immigrated to Israel in 2003.

[citation needed] Produced in secrecy and supposedly discovered after the artist's death, it describes still objects assuming life so as to murder Vladimir.

Rosen also held numerous one person exhibitions in Rosenfeld Gallery in Tel Aviv, The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art,[11] and other venues.
