About

Paul Belenky was born in 1991 in Boston, Massachusetts. Paul graduated from Brandeis University in 2014 with dual bachelors degrees in biology and studio art. He completed his MFA at MassArt in 2017 and spent the next two years teaching visual art in elementary school. Currently Paul teaches sculpture and mixed media at Newton South high school. Paul lives life in the pursuit of a state of a specific kind of “trolling” surreality because to him, absurdity and play often approach the truth more closely than reality. Paul works in installation, drawing, and sculpture, and aspires to make work that draws both smiles and grimaces.
