Nir Segal
Nir Segal (1980, Israel), lives and works in London and Tel Aviv. He received a BA (Hons) from the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL in 2008, an MFA from the Bezalel Academy of Art in 2012, and recently Segal completed his PhD at the Slade in 2020. Segal approaches art as a platform to construct models that propose new narratives around existing practices. Employing paintings, installations, performances, proposals and invitations, his works function as links between life and art by reframing the way in which we critically engage in daily practices while interacting with life in a creative way. In this last year Segal has been working in a private residency in London, exploring the return to painting, building the body of works researching the themes Sexuality and Parenthood.
As part of PhD research Segal completed a 9-month residency at OUTSET Studios in London, where he explored the terms ‘Free’ and ‘Generosity’ as strands of research around collaborations.
