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 the video installation Conversation Peace and wall installations Evolution and Theory and Natural Reserve. It also includes new works inspired by botanical drawings in Kew’s archives from the 15th - 18th century, made in China, Japan and Europe.
An introduction by Yael Guilat gives an insight into Ben-David’s work and artistry. With a foreword by Richard Deverell, Director (CEO), Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The book accompanies the exhibition of the same name at Kew’s Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, 16 October 2021 – 27 March 2022.
Zadok Ben-David represented his country Israel at the Venice Biennale in 1988 and has participated in numerous biennales worldwide. His works are exhibited in national museums and art galleries across Europe, Australia, America, Central Asia and the Middle East. Born in Bayhan, Yemen in 1949, Ben-David immigrated to Israel the same year and graduated in Advanced Sculpture from St Martin’s School of Art in London, where he taught from 1977 to 1982.
