Alex Fedek - ''Arrival''. Acrylic on canvas Diameter 16 cm signed A bottle reminiscent of a figure or icon on an abstract background created in urban nature. Meet the artist Alex Fedek, live and work in Tel Aviv In late 2012, Alex built a wall in the middle of the sidewalk and called it the ”Wall of Freedom.” The wall that stood on the Masger Street / Isaac Sade 5 (Tel Aviv) for a year and served as a street canvas that was renewed every time in graffiti paintings. The founder of ALAKIR artist group and the owner of the underground place ETZABOTZ was the venue for performances, exhibitions and artistic activities (2014-2017). After the wall was demolished (by the tenants who rented the area from the town and named temporary caravans near the construction site) Alex Fedek started painting on the streets, especially in Tel Aviv. In his paintings - classic and neutral subjects like the still life of fruits, flowers and containers, only in a brutal, graphic, and black color. Combined with the natural background such as rust or paint residue, dark and coarse factions As Alex draws across the city, he represents outsiders. The main character he paints and she became the artist's signature - an abstract, schematic bottle and Alex playing with the natural background. The artists who influenced Alex: Modigliani - Morandi - Cezanne - and Abstract Art
