About the Item

Idan Zareski is a French-Israeli artist born in Haifa, Israel. Life would take him through many countries, bearing witness to diverse cultures, which are now a fundamental element in his work. Idan has never attended art school - instead, 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 absolute communion with a force greater than myself." Idan Zareski's infamous Bigfoot exemplifies these themes. With its African roots and Latin American genealogy, Bigfoot is a peaceful call for hope and unity among the human race. His huge feet evoke the foundation of our past, our anchor to this small, fragile planet. Though they carry the heavy baggage of mass deportation, forced labor, slavery, and abuse that countless cultures suffered through history, these big feet remind us that we are all from the same small world.
