Ghiora Aharoni Studio

Ghiora Aharoni founded his multi-disciplinary studio for art and design in New York City in 2004. His work has been exhibited internationally in museums, institutions and galleries, and is in public and private collections in North America, Europe, the UAE, Israel and India.

Much of Aharoni’s work involves traditional objects or symbols—such as cultural artifacts or sacred texts—that have been recontextualized and imbued with a new meaning that asks the viewer to question or reconsider their conventional social/cultural significance. Aharoni’s work often engages time and text as a medium, and an interest in exploring dualities, such as the intersection of religion and science, and the intertwined relationships of cultures.

A graduate of Yale University, Aharoni’s work is in the collections of The Pompidou Center, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Vatican, The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., The Morgan Library & Museum, The Huntington Library and Museum and The Anu Museum. He was selected as Princeton University’s 2024 Belknap Visitor in the Humanities, and his work was exhibited in 2025 in Jodhpur in “Surface,” an exhibition of international contemporary artists creating embellished textiles as signifiers of cultural narratives.
