Inspired by traditional Chinese inkblot paintings, the “Inkblot” series examines the role of time in impacting delicate shifts in a subjects composition. For me, focusing on these momentary details that define our visual experience allows us to step back and view our entire reality as in a state of constant change. I believe that this subjective impermanence is the foundation of the human experience. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inkblot 1, 2020 Semi-Gloss Premium Archival Pigment Print 16 x 16 inches (41 x 41 cm) Edition of 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobiwalsh.com/inkblot --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Inkblot series, inspired by traditional Chinese ink paintings, targets the delicacy and differences between our own subjective experiences. Each piece was shot seconds apart yet focuses on the individual unique differences that define that moment in time. Kobi's photographic work work focuses on highlighting the subjectivity of our perspective. He captures intricate impressionistic fragments of light and time in order to parallel the fragile nature of our individual reality. Not relying on digital manipulation, Kobi’s work explores themes of authenticity and the transience of the present moment.

For me, all subjects exist as fluid, their surfaces ever-changing by way of variations in light, time, and perspective. Through my sculptural and photographic work, created entirely without digital manipulation, I aim to highlight the unique combinations of these factors that give life and soul to the surrounding atmosphere and to the present moment. At the core of my work I explore how these variables along with the differences in our subjective perspective define the unique feelings we associate with a subject. Beginning with the empirical and analytical observation of light, my pieces remove defining characteristics of commonplace subjects, attempting to disassociate their conventional identity. My work instead focuses on the unseen subject: a momentary subjective trigger of memory, emotion, and feeling produced by changes in light, time, and color. While appearing at first glance abstract, my works are meant in fact to be representational, but to represent a reality beyond immediate impressions; to create rather a fuller, and more authentic, visual experience of a subject. That experience transcends the visual, and therefore requires an approach that, while remaining representational and unmanipulated, through its alternative appearance challenges the viewer to move beyond socially constructed meanings of subject. My work is heavily influenced by nature: organic forms, the random cyclical movement of the elements, the constant progression of time and explores themes of impermanence, authenticity, deterioration and rebirth, and perceptions of banality. I draw inspiration in part from sculptural masters of light such as James Turrell and Olafur Elliason, as well as the impressionist movement – specifically from Monet, the plein air painting technique, and the enveloppe, the unifying atmospheric light encompassing all things.
