In the silk-screen printing studio, Farago collects various visual fragments of history and culture, spanning from archeological sites to contemporary urban graphics. Farago’s works strives to assemble a visual narrative, one that can evoke new reflections on identity and heritage of the Hebrew-Israelite collective. Through his use of silk-screen printing methods, Farago incorporates strong color combinations into his works, resulting in a distinctive graphic character.
Farago works have been exhibited in art shows and print fairs around the world, including Israel, Italy and UK among others. Nowadays Farago is working and collaborating in Studio Farago, found in south Tel Aviv.
