About the Item
Signed limited edition number 6 of 8.
Resin sculpture.
Idan Zareski was born in Haifa, Israel, and he has French nationality. Life would take him through many countries, witnessing multiple races and cultures, which are now a fundamental element in his work. His efforts led him to understand that his salvation had always been, literally, at his fingertips. Idan has never attended art school or any anatomy courses. His gift came to him as a need, which he understood he could no longer resist. "I don't plan or organize, I don't draw sketches. My raw emotions serve as the only guide. Ninety percent of my creations are shaped in less than an hour. When I work, I feel in absolute communion with a force greater than myself." Idan shapes his creations originally out of clay, water and fire, to later set them in bronze. He continues to be amazed by the fact that emotions cannot only take shape but be shared without a word in absolute silence and form.
Idan Zareski's infamous Bigfoot is a traveler. He spends his time traversing the world to be exhibited. Already shown in Latin America, where he was conceived, and having recently finished his North American journey, he is now on his way to Europe and Asia. His last stop will be in Antarctica, where an acoustic concert will be held in his honor for a select audience of only penguins. It is a call for awareness that raises the essential questions of "who we are, and where is it that we really live!" With its African roots and Latin American genealogy, Bigfoot is not a denunciation to racism, as it might first seem; on the contrary, it is a peaceful call for hope and unity among humanity. His huge feet evoke the roots of our past, our anchor to this small, fragile planet, reminding humans that we are all from the same small world. His relaxed attitude and the appearance of contemplation emanating from Bigfoot are a testimony: No matter what our race or color is, where we live or who we are, we are all enslaved to our paradisiac planet, our home. Bigfoot will carry his message about cultural differences and origins peacefully at ease in all continents, without offending. Born out of the hands of a French-Israeli sculptor who lived in Africa, Europe, North America and now Latin America, Idan Zareski, a true globetrotter, has been immersed since an early age in the multicultural mold that makes up our beloved planet. His sculpture, a peaceful African with big feet, bares witness to human stupidity. It carries the reminder of mass deportation, forced labor, slavery and abuse that countless cultures have suffered throughout history.
