Michele Abeles

Michele Abeles is a visual artist and photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. She received her MFA in photography from Yale University. Her work often uses photography as a tool to explore the human form and the body’s relationship with objects, space, and technology. Abeles’s images are known for their flattened, layered compositions that combine still lifes of everyday objects with fragments of the male nude. She plays with the conventions of photography and digital manipulation, creating visually complex and disorienting works that challenge the viewer’s perception of reality. Abeles has exhibited her work internationally, including in solo shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art and group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Her art is held in major public collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
