Artist Statement:
Edward Tabachnik
Departure from Soviet Union in
1972 has given me the freedom
to paint not in obligatory
style of so called "Social
Realism", but in any style I
chose to. It has been a
powerful "push" for search and
creativity.
Through all my works you will
find that my attitude toward
color and light combines
tradition of impressionism
with various surrealistic
situations.
Working on illustrations for
Kafka's novels, I was looking
for a symbolic image of a
mystical town. I found it in
Gaudi's "Sagrada Familia".
Almost on each of my paintings
you can see my "signature"-
flying phantasmagoria tower,
which has become for me a
living entity, procreating
itself, connecting The Past
with The Future.
Fascinated with the theory of
Black Holes and the origin of
The World is also reflected in
many paintings in the form of
“Singularity“, through which
Time passes, connecting The
Past with The Future.
I was always attracted to
mystery of Kabbalah, and to
other Jewish teachings. Many
of my works are related to
these themes.
After seeing the destroyed
Synagogue in Berlin, I’ve
“recreated” it in my painting,
and also dedicated a number of
my works to Jewish History.

work of Edward Tabachnik
By Consul B. John Zavrel
