Multidisciplinary artist and curator Boris Marinin born in 1987 in the city of Moscow, Russia, and immigrated to Israel in 1997. Marinin holds a BFA in Screen Arts and MFA at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. His artistic process is influenced mainly by self-study, the practice of frustration, and psychoanalytic analysis. Artists Judith Sasportas, Joseph Beuys, Matthew Barney, and the musical genre Black Metal, inspired artistic decisions and are an integral part of his developmental process.

"US" is a relational object; a pillow that connects two humans and concurrently detains them together. The two of them make up this image and step by step it seems that their identity fades and they are seen as one. This object creates a symbiosis of these two people in which each one is depending on the other. However charming and recognisable this object is in its appearance, one feels the negative tension this object bears. The longer these persons are sharing this intimate dialogue the more they seem to lose themselves and even suffocate each other. "Us" tells the story about an unseen space and a social space that is not pronounced but wears a tangible tension.

"I’m a painter who primarily works in acrylics but also experiments in multi-media, collage and chalk paints on a variety of surfaces. I am constantly drawn back again and again to pattern that evokes nature, specifically plants and flowers."

Marjon has a predilection for things that are not perfect. When she was told in one work that she hadn't used the most perfect flower, it inspired her to investigate how she could use dead flowers in her work.

“What matters to me is to show paintings in front of which the attentive spectator will settle down, enter into communion, take his own waking dream walk and dress, if only for a moment, in a rare, unusual sensation.”

"My artistic practice is to constantly capture and feel the inner state of human beings in different contexts, such as dreams, fantasies, hallucinations; these subconscious activities that cannot be observed with eyes. I question their significance in real life."

"Influenced by Buddhist philosophy, my work looks at the condition of being human from the perspective of interconnectedness and flux. I choose the language of abstraction to create a liminal space, a place of crossing where differences meet, exchange and transform in a tapestry of human experience."

"The work was made in 2012, long before anyone knew about the coronavirus pandemic. However, the work seems to illustrate the virus itself and its insidious spreading on surfaces. A virus-like object rests like a crystal ball in the middle of space. The atmosphere in this series seems to reflect times of the pandemic: social distancing, deserted empty spaces, masked faces, anxious atmosphere and nearness of death.
Originally, the series interpreted the blind spots of society, how luxurious overconsumption has led to surreal dimensions. The work spoke of death masked under Western prosperity. - Today, researchers see pandemics as becoming visible of one blind spot, how man has lived on Earth by destroying it. The planet of death and lost biodiversity must learn a new way of life."

"This work is about our intrinsic need to connect with others and the power of the human spirit to do so, even in these times of being discouraged from physically getting together. It is a composite image, made from photographs I took of my own hands, using a glass fishbowl and an antique fishing float. I stitched the photographs together and added finishing touches digitally. I have shared behind the scenes of the process here: alexismckeown.com/blog/isolation-creation-3. I hope the piece communicates how hopeful and resilient the human spirit can be, and how important it is that we find ways to stay connected with one another as we go through this strange era."

“Painting the dance of the birds; mainly the crow, the falcon, the goose, the eagle —these subtle beings with their broad wings and feathers that spread like fingers in the great circle of the living kingdom.”

"Art is a state of mind. Artworks showcase the vibration of my mind in a tangible way. They are the bridges connecting the external and internal world. For me, art is an excellent means to express my pondering about the universe. I explore my life using art as my main tool."

"I'm guiding you to the place where I live, using oil paint and medium as watercolor wash or thick sculptural texture as perspective with white to symbolize the purity of the Mountain Ash Forest. Things that could be interpreted as traditional are removed blurring the line between realism and imagination.”

"This work was made during the first lockdown and is part of a series. The drawings were intended to visually describe social distancing. Showing us all together, but apart, floating in space as time stops and days merge into one."

"Perspective is like a world to see and to see a world, in which it is often more important how we see than what we see."

"The core of my art process is the transformation of any given situation that occupies my mind, with all its colours, into the basic molecules, the building bricks. There are so many issues that cannot be settled because of their density, without being analysed and understood. I draw them."
