Haim Levy ART Habens
The idea from which I drew strength to create was simple : A kitchen knife for spreading with a round tip and not dangerous at all , in a pastoral painting of objects in the kitchen that include this knife , creates a pleasant atmosphere in such a pleasant and sweet painting . In contrast , the knife that is not threatening to be drawn close to a person ' s throat makes the painting very threatening And not at all pleasant . So that any object in a situation other than the normal can give other influences to the viewer in the work . In fact , all my work in the field of painting in the beginning and in the field of sculpture later , was done in advance pre-work , sometimes sketch or writing and even deep thinking .
During the painting or sculpture of the work , changes were made even until the completion of the work in which I am a happy artist and ready to sign the work of art .
My art includes works from the realist field , in which a change is made and a twist that makes them modern and contemporary . Not all of them are clear and absolute , but they were made in a modern artistic spirit . I always think of the viewer as an art consumer , how he will feel and what he should receive in return for taking part in my art , since without a viewer who understands art , the artist has no real feedback and can not stabilize his own style . Of course , what leads me is my inner truth as an artist with a modern realist style .
The sculptures you mentioned , indeed stemmed from a deep thought , about how to give another dimension to the work , for example : A Women ' s profiles , the clay sculpture was carefully done to the face of a gentle queen without hair ( as the Bible tells of the ancient Egyptian queen " Nefertiti "), and then I just spread the clay into equal slices , the clay slices became worthless , Instead , I moved them on the depth axis . What I got was a new figure with a number of expressions or faces , so simple but very complex . a sculpture " carved " in wax to reach the image of a dancer in an irrational position , even though the male dancer holds a dancer in the air , it is possible that every minute the dancer will fall because of the unnatural and logical position . Thus , the observer " seems to be waiting for the moment when the dancer in the air will fall , or he admires the famous dancer with his dancing skills .
