Meyer Vaisman: In The Vicinity of History, 5774
KaBe Contemporary is pleased to present 鈥淚n The Vicinity of History, 5774鈥 featuring Meyer Vaisman鈥檚 latest body of work. Vaisman produced a new series of large scale inkjet paintings on poplar plywood in continuation with his interest with photomechanical reproduction and the transformation into digital printing employing current technologies.
Vaisman has been wanting to create paintings without his hand or touch since 1980鈥檚, using mechanical techniques and commercial process inks in his early works. Where the artist previously zoomed in on the canvas weave of a picture鈥檚 surface, in his new work he makes te viewer focus on the back of the painting, the stretcher, the wood grain. All is upside down, backwards, and mirrored imaged. Using his signature and his own digital Thumbprint, the artist works on the idea of self as subject through the deployment, repetition and layering of his own autographic mark. Once more, Vaisman explore the idea of self representation through coded abstraction.
