Emerging alongside the artistic renaissance of his native country, Israeli artist Yuval Wolfson possesses both the technical edge of a printmaker and the virtue of a painter. As a result, Wolfson not only arrests our understanding of identity, he projects it in representation.
Wolfson’s artwork personifies the inner-world of emotion, reflection, and consciousness through three central visual motifs: flightless birds, automobiles, and fragmented landscapes.
Wolfson implants his vision in the effects of time and approaches his subjects with an analytic charge. This is demonstrated through the artist’s sharp yet delicate compositions, serenely frozen beneath the surface of the canvas. His symbolic portraiture is inspired by storytelling, identity in the modern-era, and the passage of history.
