Description
"Le Siffleur" is a monumental sculpture in resin and gold leaf by Franco-Israeli artist Idan Zareski, from his Bigfoot Family series. This matte black and gold example is number 3 from an edition of 8 and stands 220 cm high.
The work depicts a standing male figure with his hands in his pockets and his head tilted upward as though whistling. His slender body contrasts with the dramatically enlarged feet characteristic of Zareski's work. The matte black surface of the body and feet is juxtaposed with gold leaf on the hat and trousers, emphasizing the sculpture's distinctive proportions.
Originally conceived in 2014, was inspired by rural Costa Rica, where Zareski lived for 17 years. The artist associates the character with the country's “Pura Vida" philosophy and describes him as a tribute to happiness.
Within the Bigfoot Family, Zareski's oversized feet symbolize humanity's roots and shared connection to the Earth, suggesting a common ground beyond geographical and cultural borders.
Edition 3/8
Presentation
Idan Zareski was born in Haifa in 1968, in Israel; he is also a French citizen. His life allowed him to travel in many countries, and thus to discover different cultures that are today part of his work. He never went to an art school or to anatomy classes. His artistic talent is innate and he quickly realized it. The artist has never planned, organized or drawn his artworks. It's only his feelings that guide him in his work. By the way most of his artworks are realized in less than an hour. When he works, he says to be in a perfect communion with a strength stronger than him, as if he was forced to use this gift. He carves his artworks with the help of argil, water and fire to then transform them in bronze. He is still astonished by the way the feelings can be passed without a word and thanks to art. Today Idan Zareski is completely dedicated to art and settled in Costa Rica. His artworks have been exhibited in many countries as France, Monaco, Switzerland, Italy, Costa Rica, Colombia or even the United States.
