רן שבי

Multidisciplinary artist focusing on painting, photography, music and songwriting, currently located in Berlin. Participating in the Studio program of the Berlin Art Institute.

Expression in different media allows him to deal with widely ranging subjects like visual and lyrical representations of biochemical states of consciousness on the one hand and political issues touching the concept of nation, history and social construction on the other.

​

Has vastly collaborated with the Zefunot Culture NPO both in the arts and music.
