demolishing forest

Industrial deforestation systematically destroys ecosystems and violently annihilates wildlife habitats. The painting illustrates the hopeless struggle between industrialization and nature, as a monkey tries to stop a menacing machine tearing apart its world, while the rest of the forest animals are embedded in the trunks like ghosts. The tearful eyes integrated into the nearby trees turn the forest into a living, aching entity, echoing a silent cry against human destruction.

Yogev Abutbul

A painter active in the field for about a decade, residing and operating a studio in Ramat Gan. He completed seven years of academic painting and drawing studies under the artist David Boskovich. He creates using oil, acrylic, and precise pencil drawings, with his work process deeply influenced by the tempera technique. Even when working with other materials, his approach to painting is based on layering, creating a base where light emerges from beneath the color, and using glazes to produce depth, transparency, and unexpected color combinations. He draws his main inspiration from nature, alongside spatial and three-dimensional thinking that is reflected in his artworks. The purpose of his paintings is to evoke emotion. Each piece is an invitation for the viewer to pause for a moment, step into the painted space, and find a connection to their own personal world.
