He produces highly intricate works through the painstaking repetition of miniscule marks, often Hebrew letters repeated thousands of times using ink on paper or canvas. He draws these images without magnification. The end result is a work of extraordinary detail that appears to be a pattern from a distance and speaks of the passage of time and the link between the microscopic and the infinite. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by Albrecht D rer and minimalism, El Hanani practices the ancient art of micrography, in which tiny calligraphic letters are repeatedly drawn to create abstract designs. Jewish scribes used this technique to transcribe holy texts. El Hanani sees his work as part of this continuum and himself as a champion of the handmade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847869145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Adam Kirsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39714998517941,"sku":"9780847869145","price":46.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_12b31e64-793a-4355-b9ca-c61f1622246f.jpg?v=1618291609","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jacob-el-hanani-recent-works-on-canvas-9780847869145","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
