Exhibit: Works of Gadi Zamir - he paints,stains, and burns his featuring visions into scraps of wood, allowing the grain and texture to dictate the ultimate creation. More than 150 pieces now on view!
Gadi Zamir's work on wood are created using a combination of woodburning, stains, other finishes, and applied materials such as metals, stones, gold leaf, cloth, and other recycled objects. Gadi forms his images around the grain found naturally in the wood and uses different techniques to complete his ideas. His newest work is done primarily on plywood originally used for boarding up old buildings and vacant properties, a process he calls "turning buildings inside out."
Each piece is distinguished by the individual characteristics of each piece of wood. The final works are the outcome of an exploration of new media and an incorporation of a lifetime of art making and the reflect a passion for the forces of life and nature that surround us. Gadi enjoys creating new pieces and discovery in the hidden beauty in wood grain and other objects.
I met Gadi Zamir in the Summer of 2010, located on the 2nd floor of the Asian Town Center, 3820 Superior Ave., Cleveland Ohio 44114, 216-235-9766. His artwork was simply AMAZING!
One can only appreciate such intricate art only in person, and I found myself beyond amazed and excited as well, trust me, you will be amazed too! Stop on in, the atmosphere is amazing!
