About the Item

For Michal Gavish, multimedia artist and former research scientist, viruses, proteins, and crystals aren’t abstractions—they are figures, objects and nano-scale landscapes. The artist is captivated by these minute shapes that are hidden from the naked eye, interpreting them in their intricate environments. Using innovative techniques, Gavish translates visual research data into paintings and soft installations, sometimes drawing and painting and at other times developing three-dimensional works by layering original chemical paint-combinations onto translucent fabric and fragile paper. The resulting works give presence to the microscopic living formations that we know exist but can hardly imagine. As the artist comments, "Fascinated by the mapping arrays used to describe our genetics, I abstract geometric formations of big data into colorful images. I interpret the symmetries of X-ray structures and statistical results from recent scientific publications and laeyr the shpaes of the generated data, inventing my own intricate combinations. Staging the stormy scenario of their connection to our body, identity, social order, and food sources, I connect the genetics to my thoughts of their physical and social implications." - Michal Gavish
