Description
Dhaif is a sculptural painting by contemporary artist Lev Khesin, known for his innovative use of silicone and pigment. This abstract artwork features layered forms in bold colours and rich textures that feel almost touchable. The surface is built through a slow, meticulous process of adding silicone in layers, allowing the material to shift and respond unpredictably. Khesin embraces this lack of control, using the nature of the medium to guide the final outcome.
The result is a vibrant exploration of light, colour, and materiality. Dhaif blurs the line between painting and sculpture. It invites viewers to not just see the artwork but to feel it with their eyes. Inspired by painter Robert Ryman’s idea that “The basic problem is what to do with paint,” Khesin reimagines painting by removing traditional canvas and brush, letting the medium speak for itself.
This sculptural painting stands out as a unique piece of contemporary abstract art. It’s perfect for collectors looking for original works that challenge traditional techniques while offering visual depth and emotional intensity.
