Boaz Sides, aka UNTAY, is a multidisciplinary visual artist, living and working in Tel Aviv.
Sides's works can be regarded as a visual diary which develops over time and is affected by personal and mundane experiences. Raw, exposed everyday encounters with images, people, music, human faces, and nature are all the sources of his work. Most of his creative process is generated by curiosity and the urge to explore which is translated visually into artworks that usually include figurative and abstract elements with a sketchy style.
As an artist, Sides is drawn to the imperfect – the errors, the attempts, and the process instead of the final outcome. His works are characterized by deconstructed figures, stains and free drawings, as he aspires to maintain a visual language which is rough and unfinished and thus unique.
