ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I believe the way that we traditionally see another person is through a combination of granular elements that make up our self-defined image of that person. Study of Body strips away these defining characteristics, viewing the human figure as part of a larger whole. A larger whole untouched by societally imposed meaning or stereotype, breaking the body into a constantly changing mixture of shapes and forms wholly dependent on fluctuations in environmental light. I believe it is this atmospheric light that truly defines and dictates the meaning we associate with all animate or inanimate things. ⁠⁣ Study of Body aims to remove conventional societal identifiers of the human form, removing stereotypes and prejudices, reshaping the way that we view individuality within the context of our society. Study of Body remains a unique decomposition of the human form, retaining the overarching structure that links us together through our humanity, but composed and defined by a constantly shifting internal personal narrative. I use the flow of time and perpetually changing fragments of light as a motif for the defining characteristics of our individual reality that evolve through our subjective human experience. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Study of Body 1 Semi - Gloss Premium Archival Pigment Print 60 x 40 inches (152 x 102 cm) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobiwalsh.com/study-of-body --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi's photographic work work focuses on highlighting the subjectivity of our perspective.

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.
