Didier Aaron Gallery is pleased to present Teatro Grottesco – Drawings by Ofer Josef, the celebrated artist’s first ever solo exhibition in New York, and the United States. Josef’s body of work is a mesmerizing mixture: macabre and chaotic blooms of dark ink are punctuated by madcap tangles of evocative line-work, often illuminated by a single spotlight, to present staged tableaus that nakedly expose the full spectrum of the bawdy human spectacle. The forsaken worlds of Goya, Hugo, Redon, Dix, and Baudelaire reverberate throughout. Born in Tel Aviv in 1965, Josef moved to France at sixteen, where he shortly thereafter became one of the youngest students admitted to the École de Beaux-Art. After periods spent living and working in Berlin and Lisbon, Josef settled in Brazil, where he has resided since 1993.
