Israeli, b. 1978

Amir Tomashov is an artist and architect whose practice operates at the intersection of urban anatomy and the "aesthetics of ruin." A graduate with honors from the Technion’s Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning – where he currently serves as a lecturer – Tomashov eschews conventional practice in favor of a clinical-critical exploration of landscapes defined by construction, destruction, and Late Modernism.

Working across a diverse vocabulary of media – including collage, relief, model-making, and painting – he investigates the symbolic tension between accumulation and annihilation. His work transforms disaster zones and conflict areas into tangible expressions that question the fragile boundaries between existence and catastrophe.
