Happy Little Accident
Nadav Parazenchevski (FineArc)
Semi-constrained Lichtenberg figures on scavenged and upcycled wood, framed in scavenged and dyed wood and finished in matt yacht varnish. Had I made this in my workshop with a fixed outcome in mind, I would never have been able to free-flow spontaneously like this. This piece was made as a live demonstration of my method at the street fair in Zichron Yaakov. The original plan was to slice it into coasters - a notion that infuriated the spectating crowd, which demanded unilaterally to defend the piece from my own stated intentions. Ever argued with an Israeli mob? No, thank you. Good thing in retrospect, as, years later, this show-and-tell piece was showcased and discussed at length during the opening event at the Mark Shagal House “Intuitive Drawing” exhibition of Haifa Association of painters and sculptors, May 2025, Haifa.

An autodidactic research artist developing a unique artistic medium based on the Lichtenberg Figures phenomena - fractal dielectric breaking of materials in high voltage current. In his work he turns electric resistance into a brush and creates a complex dialogue between the raw forces of nature and the human capacity to instill intention and meaning, a perception formed along a decade of experimentation and inspired by his experience in dog training and preschool education - to form a framework of boundaries allowing freedom within. The method's evolution focuses on the interactions between control and submission, wherein from year to year, he moves from enforcing his will on the material into listening to it, thus tempting them into forging images, textures and shapes involving scientific, natural and narrative contents, from the resolution of the sub atomic to the cognitive, using scavenged materials, while evolving the technique to a rich, high contrast and vibrant visual language Http://FineArt.Art
