Yggdrasil
Nadav Parazenchevski (FineArc)
Semi-constrained Lichtenberg figures on scavenged and upcycled mahogany veneer, routed-edged and finished in matte deck oil. A finely engraved composition on wood, this work transforms the image of a tree into a circular, almost symbolic landscape. Charred linear textures and earthy pigments create depth and tension, while the balanced square format gives the piece a contemplative, contemporary presence. First attempt at Yggdrasil, the world tree of Norse mythology, at its mythological symbol form, symbolizing life, rebirth and connection to the continuum, upon which all life is one.

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
