ilan Laks

Working as a non-representational painter in mixed media, Laks creates modular works, blasting with industrial grade tools onto birch panels. Creating layer after layer, sanding in between each plane, resulting in large-scale and even colossal, highly theatrical works that are smooth yet rich with depth. the marks spread across multiple panels, clothing, objects, and instruments, creating intimate moments of space and simultaneously the magnanimous total experience of a galaxy. Laks performs original songs, stories of life as an artist, (www.ilanlaks.com/music) in this immersive art experience.
