yizhak elyashiv - prints and drawings
On View: March 8 – 30, 2024
Reception: Friday, March 8, 5 – 7pm
Elyashiv's printmaking is recognized internationally, especially his Handful of Grains Map series, gridded expanses of up to eight by twelve feet in which the simple gesture of tossing grains of wheat is developed into expansive vistas of line and landscape. Elyashiv's work also ranges to an intimate scale, in which embossing and fine drypoint lines minimally evoke natural forms.
Yizhak Elyashiv
Yizhak Elyashiv has lived and worked in Providence, Rhode Island since 1991. His best-known prints, which have been shown and collected by museums throughout the country, are records of physical activity in and out of the studio, “maps” of gestures and measurements undertaken in the landscape and on his printing plates.
