His most recent solo exhibition was held at Scaramouche gallery in Manhattan, New York. Previous solo exhibitions of Ben-Ari's work were held at Vox Populi in Philadelphia, and Hamidrasha Gallery in Tel Aviv. His work has been featured in group exhibitions in New York City at 6–8 Months Project Space, Thierry Goldberg Gallery, NADA Art Fair with Artis, Fisher Landau Center for Art, and SculptureCenter.Ben-Ari is a current SIP Award recipient from the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop Program at The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and recently was an Artist-in-Residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace Residency and Artist-in-Residence at the NARS Foundation, New York. Ben-Ari received his MFA from Columbia University's School of the Arts in 2011, and his BFA with honors from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem in 2009, where he received the Presser Award for Excellence in Painting. In 2008, Ben-Ari was selected for the Exchange Program for Merit Students to study Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, London.Ben-Ari's body of work focuses on the connection between Psychoanalytic theory, Semiotics and the medium of painting. Following the Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan’s notion that 'The word kills the thing' by fixing its meaning, he uses an illustrative approach to examine the way metaphors, when taken literally, become dysfunctional. Ben-Ari is interested in the implications of using painting, a medium that rejects literal interpretation, to analyze concepts that reject visual interpretation. Ben-Ari's recent work uses painting as a framework to study elements of post-structuralism and psychoanalytic theory. Much of his work originates in jokes or illustrations of related concepts and situations, as he attempts to employ a literal strategy in an image, without collapsing into a mere illustration."@en }
