About The Artwork

Quay 5 Glossy Premium Archival Pigment Print 30 x 45 inches (76 x 114 cm) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobiwalsh.com/quay --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quay ultimately aims to reconstruct our expectations of photographic subject. Disconnecting the identity of the subject by removing visual cues of depth and focusing on the transience of its surface, my work highlights the subjectivity of our own perspective. Quay explores time as a theme in impacting these surface characteristics. Shot chronologically, Quay highlights the natural colors and figures drawn by light reflecting off turbulent water in a fixed time frame. Quay uses the randomness of water's movement and the reflected light to paint a picture of the natural cycle between chaos and tranquility. 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.
