Keren Oxman is an American, Israeli artist. Oxman holds a B.A. with Honors from the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, and an M.A. with Honors from the Royal College of Art in London where she was a Clore Fellow. Her work experimentally speculates on the intersection of art and anthropology, the temporal artifact and the exploration of cultural otherness. Oxman is the recipient of the ​Rockefeller grant in New York. Her recent Artist Residencies include Eyebeam Atelier, The Cooper Union school of Art and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Center all in​ ​NYC.​ ​​Oxman's​ ​work​ ​has​ ​been​ ​exhibited​ ​worldwide​ ​in​ ​Tel​ ​Aviv,​ ​New​ ​York​ ​and​ ​London.

Oxman’s work operates as a form of anthropological research in which the artist functions as a collector scavenging and piecing together distant documents alongside cultural relics and contemporary artifacts all taken from the infinite pool of existing ​junk space​. These aggregations, that draw from the aesthetics of traditional masks and artifacts, create a complex mosaic of ​mash-up and establish the visual presence of the ​creaturely​.This creates a suggested and suggestive race that ranges from the foreign to the familiar, from the visceral to the external,​ ​and​ ​relates​ ​to​ ​a​ ​cross-cultural,​ ​post-colonial​ ​world.

In 2013, Oxman worked with her sister, Neri Oxman on a 3-D printed dress, which was debuted in the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013, as part of collaboration with fashion designer, Iris Van Herpen for her show "Voltage".
