Energy and Motion Print

“Energy and Motion” 30 x 40 in Acrylic on canvas In my artistic practice, I turn to the primordial, cornerstone element in painting - color. When I work in a limited palette, I explore the phenomenal nature of color, and it’s capacities. I try to explore the interaction of line and color, and the illogical relation of form and content. I depict the natural world, in which plants and animals form a pictorial image of a single organism. It reminds me of an ark (maybe Noah's ark) as a phenomenon of a community of biodiversity, in which every organism has a place. As an artist, I deeply embrace the experience of Expressionism and in particular paintings of Franz Marc, and portray the animal world through the animal eyes. Also, I raise acute themes of ecology such as such as climate change, pollution, overuse of resources, recycling issues.
