Yael Dresdner  Artist Bio & Statement
“The series grew out of my trip there, sea sickness and all. The experience had a visceral impact on me, as though I were witnessing evolution unfolding. Energy turns into matter, lava erupting from deep in the ocean’s infinite waters evolves into earth, plants and living creatures.
In my painting series, I try to capture this constructive and destructive energy and the way it’s constantly transforming the physical landscape. I work in layers as I create forms and disrupt them using brushes and palette knives. No form is ever truly set. This process results in a tactile surface that echoes the subject’s physicality, and creates actual and optical depth. The color palette is limited to my impression of the local colors, with black and white delineating space, motion and form in chiaroscuro. Large black areas have moments of light breaking through. The contrast between light and dark colors evokes night and day and the passage of time.
Painting from memory involves the remembered actual experience and re-living it through photos taken while there. These landscapes are both real and imagined, describing external materiality and internal spaces. The square format removes association to the traditional horizontal format of landscape painting. It’s a cropping device that suggests you’re seeing just a part of a much larger place, and offers the possibility of combining pieces.”
 
A native of Haifa, Israel, Yael Dresdner is an artist and designer living and working in New York City. She holds a BA in Visual Communications from George Washington University and has trained in drawing and painting at Art Students League and New York Studio School, New York, and Washington Studio School, Washington, DC. Yael’s artwork has been exhibited as part of group shows in various venues and is in numerous private and corporate collections. Yael’s design practice helps organizations find their voice and give it a visual expression.
