Roey Heifetz is known for his extraordinary larger than life size portrait drawings of figures, part representation, part flayed imaginings. Heifetz’s large-scale drawings show individuals, often archetypes of authority, delicate in detail but rough and expressive in their overall appearance. The drawings create unique installations mostly located in different public spaces and practice social situations and intervention.
