Zigi
Ben-Haim’s paintings on aluminum are traces of
culture and nature as seen through his diverse cultural
experience. Using the grid scheme, he punctuates the
composition by adding large plaques or cutouts with
iconographic images that are infused with personal meaning.
Four recurring motifs are the leaf, oval, brick and
ant. The leaf represents nature, growth and recurrence,
the oval suggests cycles, the brick relates to culture
and the ant is the artisan. These natural images are
interspersed between glimpses of post 9/11 New York
City.
Throughout his extensive career, Zigi Ben-Haim has exhibited
widely including Zigi Ben-Haim Painting Sculpture,
Stefan Stux Gallery, New York, NY (2003) and a recent
outdoor installation of Splendid Step in Dag
Hammarksjold Plaza, New York, NY. His work can be found
in over 27 museum and public collections. He has earned
numerous grants including two from the Pollock Krasner
Foundation and one from the National Endowment for the
Arts.
