Days End (Snipe)
A solitary snipe rests at the lower edge of a luminous waterscape and marsh. Transparent watercolor washes soften the distant bank, while layered marks and finer lines give the foreground bird and shoreline greater definition. The contrast between warm water and cool earth creates a serene, contemplative atmosphere suited to a bedroom, office, or quiet living area.
Zev Labinger
As an artist deeply immersed in the exploration of nature, I find myself constantly inspired by the elegance and majesty of birds. My work delves into the intricate relationships between these avian creatures and the broader ecosystems they inhabit, as well as the profound connections between humans and the natural world. By reconnecting with nature, we renew the connections that bind us to one another, and will hopefully be moved to cherish and protect the fragile ecosystems that sustain us all. Zev is a visual artist, musician and ecologist. Born in 1962 in the USA, he later immigrated to Israel in 1986, following the birds, where he now lives with his wife and two daughters. Zev’s love for birds has accompanied him from a young age. As a child, he began to draw them and later that same love led him to work as an ecologist for the preservation of birds and to engage with them as an artist. Zev is the Israeli representative for the international organization "Artists for Nature Foundation" and have exhibited in Israel and internationally. His works can be found in private collections, museums, books and field guides. Fascinated by how things work, especially how things work together, his art spans from traditional nature art to dealing with the intersection between nature and society. Zev’s passion for birds leads him to protect them, but today he understands that the birds are also protecting him. Separation from nature has condemned humanity to great loneliness. The story of the Tower of Babel illustrates the human fear of losing control, which has led to division, lack of communication, and the divide-and-rule system. Through his art, he hopes to reconnect people with nature, to feel part of it. In this way, people can re-experience the sense of belonging, connection, and unity that is so lacking.
