Description
Zadok Ben-David is an award-winning artist who lives and works in London and is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks. He explores themes linked to human nature and evolution. His work is often referred to as poetic and magical, always oscillating between delicate miniature-work and monumental installations. Metalworking has become Ben-David's preferred language in contrast to the subtle optical illusions that he creates, thanks to a sometimes-rough medium. The book celebrates the work of Ben-David, and features the moody floor installation Blackfield, containing over 17,000 miniatures of flowers, duplicated and hand painted from 900 different species. The book also includes new works inspired by botanical drawings in Kew's archives from the 15th - 18th century. Illustrations, unspecified
