About
Klil Wexler (b. 1992) is a multidisciplinary artist engaged in installation, sculpture, drawing, and painting. She grew up in the moshav of Ben-Nun and lives and works in Jerusalem. Her work responds to traumas, injustices, and cracks she perceives in society and her immediate environment. These works combine autobiographical materials, real places, and historical events, woven into a fictional space that confronts these themes.
A central aspect of her practice is devoted to the choice of materials and to working with them, often by shifting them from their familiar uses and examining the symbolic and emotional charges they carry. The organic materials she works with– among them sugar, tar, and charcoal- foreground processes of decay and instability, turning the works into site and time dependent entities, and the act of viewing them into a kind of testimony to a state that will not return.
Wexler holds an MFA in Fine Arts (2025) and a BFA in Fine Arts (2018, with honors) from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. She is also a graduate of Bezalel’s joint Art Education program with the Hebrew University (2019).
She has presented solo exhibitions at the Hacubia Gallery in Jerusalem (2025), the Water Tower Gallery in Tivon (2023), the Refrigerator Gallery in Tel Aviv, and the Artists’ House in Jerusalem (2022). She has also participated in duo and group exhibitions at venues including the Museum on the Seam in Jerusalem; Alfred Gallery in Tel Aviv; the New Gallery Teddy in Jerusalem; the Givat Haviva Art Gallery; the Art Workshop in Yavne; the Artists’ Studios in Talpiot; Zarkashi Gallery in Sakhnin; the Neve Shalom Art Gallery; BAAD Gallery in Tel Aviv; and others. In addition, she has created installations in the public space in Israel and Spain.
Since 2019, Wexler has worked from a studio at the New Gallery Teddy Artists’ Studios, and she is a graduate of the “Artists’ Greenhouse” program at the Talpiot Artists’ Studios. She has received scholarships, grants, and awards from the Rabinovich Foundation and the Tel Aviv Municipality (2024), the Fund for Independent Creators (2021), the America–Israel Cultural Foundation (2021), the Jerusalem Municipality (2020), as well as the Bezalel Department of Art Excellence Award (2018). Her works have been published in issues of HaMusach literary journal.
Alongside her artistic practice, Wexler teaches art at the Jerusalem High School of the Arts and at Emuna College in Jerusalem. She is the mother of Keshet and of a dog named Rothko.
