Elad Laroms work consists of painting, video, computer animation and photography. Through his interdisciplinary approach, Larom strives to implement the power of disclosing a world of exclusive characters, scenes and places of low culture, folklore and everyday life. He attempts to dramatize this by emphasizing moments and sights that belong to magical and sometimes even spiritual situations. Laroms paintings recall cinema, in a similar way to his video works which are seen as a sequence of images as if coming out of a painting. These works seek to rediscover the possibility of painting loaded with the power and themes of another, metaphysical world.
Elad Larom graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam and in 2010 he received his MFA from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. Larom has presented his work in various exhibitions in Europe and North America, which include Tento#2, W139, Amsterdam; Bezalel on Tour, Corcoran Gallery and Maltz Museum; Kunstlerhaus FRISE, Hamburg, and many more. His recent solo exhibitions include: I, Walid Lacham, New and Bad Gallery, Haifa, 2013, as well as a painting installation which was presented at the Fresh Paint Art & Design Fair, Tel Aviv, 2012. Larom has received a number of grants, including a special award from the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem and another from the Nederlands Fonds for his artistic work on films.
