Dan Birenboim’s studies in architecture art the Pratt Institute, New York, and his subsequent work in Israel as an artist, curator, and urban planner inform his art practice. Frequently focusing on trees, parks, power-lines, ravens and forests, these motifs are woven into a dialogue of the greening of urban space, or the forest as a “green lung”—exemplified by Manhattan's Central Park. His monochromatic paintings are realistic, often set against a still, stark white ground to emphasize his impeccable control over the rich mercury pigment with which he exclusively paints.
