Incognitos as well as pop icons feature the work of Roey Heifetz in recent years. An intricate drawing style – of ink and graphite on paper – seeks intimacy by meticulously working toward detail. In contrast to the fine detail, the drawings are large-scale with an emotional echo that is mysterious and indistinct. They are on the brink of excess, both when zooming-in and when zooming-out. The distance between these elements has been stretched, to allow the drawing to explore it.
