biography
Born in 1974 in Israel, Avinadav Begin’s artistic exploration serves as a self-initiated participation in the rich tapestry of history embedded within walls. His work intricately weaves together the processes of reaction, the acceleration of aging, and a profound engagement with the passage of time. Begin’s craft delves into the materiality of walls, offering an entrance into the nuanced actions of epochs and an attentive observation of their impact on materials.
In one of his works – #13, a poignant example of Begin’s artistic language, features a white wall with a central hole encircled by an expanding blob of iron-rust. This meticulously composed piece narrates the story of erosion and prolonged absorption. However, it transcends ordinary rust stains, positioned precisely at the center with a symmetrical expansion that invites observers to perceive it as a meaningful entity. Begin challenges conventional notions of beauty, emphasizing the allure of the developmental process of erosion rather than the natural occurrence itself.
Avinadav Begin’s unique approach to art transcends traditional boundaries, inviting viewers into a contemplative exploration of time, decay, and the emotional resonance embedded within the physicality of walls. His work serves as a testament to the profound narratives concealed within the seemingly mundane, unraveling layers of meaning and inviting observers to engage in a dialogue with the passage of time itself.
