Nivi Alroy is a multidisciplinary, artist based in Israel. Alroy is focusing in drawing, sculpture, animation and installation. Her work has been exhibited in Israel and internationally in museums, galleries and site- specific installations. Alroy was the 2015-16 Hebrew University’s Safra campus of Mathematics and life Science visiting artist and just recantly, The Driftlab residency at The Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research (IOLR) .  She is the recipient of two Israeli Lottery grants, the Ahuvi Most Promising Artist award, the Rabinovich grant, Arts Asylum small grant, a Tel Aviv special projects grant and the AICF fellowship.  Alroy took part in various residency programs, among them, the Triangle workshop and the AIR gallery residency programs in New York and The Asylum workshop.  

My artistic practice interweaves scientific and historical research with fictional narratives, creating alternative universes where characters navigate unusual journeys. Through detailed drawings, I lay the groundwork for three-dimensional installations and videos that explore themes of climate crisis, flooding, and the chaotic relationship between humans and their environment. I investigate the state of loss of control, chaos, and fragility, examining anxieties and the dissolution of boundaries between humans and nature—a concept I call the "environmental organ." Drawing is my primary medium, but I'm passionate about evolving these visions into immersive spaces where time feels elastic and layered.

My current project, "A Slippery Slope: Procession in Time," merges sculptural elements rooted in de-extinction science and historical inquiry. This work contemplates what remains, transforms, and lingers amid our collective wreckage, imagining speculative evolutions beyond human culture.In recent years, I have been working alongside the wonderful sculptor Zohar Gotesman, https://www.zohargotesman.com/. After years of dedicating my thoughts to endings, we are developing a large-scale installation focusing on beginnings. Our current project merges history and future reflections, thoughts on the end of culture a new, disrupted, and macabre evolution. This involves wood, terra-cotta, vegetation, objects, immense material curiosity, and hard, thrilling work.
