We present the work of a young artist from Israel. Itamar Jobani has become internationally known for his wood sculptures. Modern art here is inspired by European myths and legends.
Modern art inspired by myths and legends
The modern art of Itamar Jobani is influenced by religious and historical symbols and combines the physical and spiritual sides of life. His complex figures bring beauty, power, romance and violence together in a single form. While the artist has previously worked with more interactive platforms and artistic installations, his latest works return to static forms and constructions. The artist's sculptures look like topographical maps. To achieve this effect, he uses hundreds of layers of cardboard. The Israeli sculptor sought to create a link between people and the earth, which led to the idea of combining modern art with myths.
