"Why would he want to make them violent - his lovers and his relatives? It takes a certain amount of violence to throw aside the objective optical element common to all human beings and to have access to the one-time-miraculous occurrence of human presence, to wallow in it as a lover wishes to cross the distance of the body , To eat the object of his love . In the paintings of Haim Soutine, the distorted figures may refer to grotesque and macabre expressions, such as those of Brueghel and Bush, Goya and Domia; But with another glance, the great compassion reveals three forms in such a free manner and turns them into portraits, and they are no longer mere figures. The forms are a manifestation of the psychophysical potential that was hidden in appearance. There is no distortion or breakage of form, on the contrary, they express a discovery, they release the trapped shape and enable it to realize and realize its unique appearance . With my late return to portrait paintings, I understood something important about my painting and the meaning of the use of the material and the destructive processes that accompany its creation (processes that often result in the almost total elimination of the image and a different and renewed appearance on the canvas). The most basic reason that seems to have led me to the physical act of drawing is the inability to succeed in drawing. The moment when I was able to breathe in relief during painting was the one that suddenly came up and showed the right drawing. The assumptions of color, the excessive use of matter, the various mediums, the body - are only actions to create situations; They are all the incarnation of the same violence that seeks to shake the bodies of the painting until they somehow land in their proper place . I look at the tree / Martin Buber "Everything that belongs to the tree is included in it - its shape and mechanism of action, its variousities and components, its conversation with the earth and conversation with the stars - all included in one assemblage . It is not an external impression that is the tree, not an inner imagination or a random result of a mood; In reality he stands in front of me, he treats me just as I treat him - only in another way . And do not delineate the significance of this relationship: Reciprocity is the foundation of any connection . Does this mean that Ilan has a consciousness like ours? I did not experience that. And that because of the false existence of some recognition in you, you will analyze what can not be analyzed? After all, I did not meet the soul of the tree, nor even the species of a tree, but it itself . " Nearly a decade passed from the time when I first planned to paint portraits of trees until the time when I finally ordered from Canvos the largest frames that could be inserted through the opening of my studio. The scale was, in fact, the first condition. I could picture them as vast landscape sheets that joined together into one single object of a multitude of different color assumptions . In the two months I've been sketching trees outside, I have not created, in fact, not a single sketch to use for drawing; But looking at the trees illustrated to me the wonderful paradox between the expressive listing of the motile races, the spun branches and the countless leaves scattered in hypnotic rhythms, and the abysmal, micro-events slowness that registered them: the movement of the wind, a building built and blocking the light, Looters of cones and the like. The way that each of the branches did from its creation to its present form is a slow, slow recording, one that all existence shares in its formation, whereas on my page it translates into a pencil line . An unimaginable amount of visual information mocks the mind from every corner and angle of the tree. The tree is a process - simple in its essence and metaphoric in its artistic incarnation, like a painting of sea or sky . In a measured and gradual process, I have the ability to go down and down the format sizes, with each contraction turning the puzzle into a different answer from the previous one. The medium formats centered on the tree trunk. Two paraphernalia were standing in front of me: a tree trunk by John Constable 1 and the left tree trunk of St. John's sermon by Peter Brueghel 2 -two spectacular races that transcended all their imaginings and changed my gaze in real tree trunks . In the smallest formats of the series, on the other hand, I conjured up the hair-raising scenes of Dozio, Giotto, and Mazatio, where the labyrinthine figurines act as a kind of visual alter ego to the human characters while controlling and directing the eye maneuvers in the composition. I found in my tree trunks the possible expression of this frozen drama of light and form through the theatrical tension created and formed between the trees and their surroundings . Illuminated : In the painting we experience a certain reversal between the role of light and the role of objects . It seems that light is the constant and the objects are passing. Light and shadow form the compositional structures of the composition, while objects are mere concepts. A person, a stool, an eye, or an apple do not exist as separate and autonomous entities, but as cyanobacteria in a dynamic system. The end and beginning of a stain or form is not meant to be a word, but rather a projection of the shadow or of the light, the cut of the shape, or the luster of the color. And yet - there is no light in the painting. There is only the illusion of light. The light in the painting is so fragile that a single ray of true light will penetrate the shutter and illuminate the wall on which the painting hangs - and the painting will die at once .
