Zvika Greensfield, sculpture
Zvika melds hand carved marble and wood to readymade (found) objects in a perfect marriage of total opposites. He juxtaposes the beauty of marble and wood with the “ugliness” of found objects to make a poignant commentary on humanity at a time when this so called perfect world is rapidly deconstructing into the imperfect future ahead. He began studying sculpture in his teens, then studied at the Basis Academy of Sculpture and the Midrasha Academy of Contemporary Arts and with prominent sculptors in Israel. “One of the most satisfying experiences I know is to spend time with a block of marble and a chisel…”Zvika has lived in the US since 1979 and now resides in Gualala CA.
