Itamar Jobani "Wounded Topographies"
Andrea Meislin Gallery
This event has ended.
Andrea Meislin Gallery presents Wounded Topographies, an exhibition by New York-based artist Itamar Jobani. Wounded Topographies is Jobani's first solo exhibition since joining Andrea Meislin Gallery and will display large-scale installations alongside smaller sculptural works.
Blending mythologies from multiple traditions, Itamar Jobani always arrives at a conclusion uniquely his own. Adapting the technique of building topographic models to depict the human body, the very foundation of Jobani's work speaks to the deep confluence between bodies of land and the bodies of men. Indeed in the Hebrew translation, the words for land (adama) and man (adam) are very similar. Jobani's installation Blood, Man, Earth explores this basic connection between the words as well as the larger idea of the land taking on the pain and suffering of mankind.
