The Works of Amir Tomashov

Amir Tomashov’s drawings depict intertwined trees and building blocks, weaving together construction and destruction. Growth and rooting take on new meanings in this exhibition, associated with the circle of life in the urban space.

The combination of building blocks and roots in still life paintings lends itself to the examination of the relationship between human activity and the natural world. These elements conjure questions about permanence versus temporality, growth and decay and the complex connection between humanity and the environment.

Through his painstaking drawing process, often carried out on almost raw wood, and by placing the seemingly disparate elements together, Tomashov foregrounds the complexity of existence and the layers of meaning held in the ordinary objects of everyday life.
