'Eteti' by Lev Khesin

Khesin's Art is in the episode of Rothko, Newman and Gottlieb, his materiality is surprisingly different: Khesin works with silicone, a soft and murky material. In doing so, he often stirs the pigments into the transparent mass prior to the painting process, and partly spreads them during the painting process. He needs several months for each object that he uses with spatulas and squeegees. By painting the paint, it is not unusual to find hanging forms that develop their own feel and invite them to touch. his formative will is accompanied by a deep humility in the face of natural, uncontrollable processes. Khesin himself compares painting with the art of archery and various Zen rituals and focuses exclusively on the current action: “The image becomes evidence of a completed meditation”. Anyone who takes time for Lev Khesin’s work experiences how they develop their own lives. The semitransparent image surfaces change their character. The “Dark Matter” reveals a veritable “colour spectacle”. And no, black is definitely not just black.
