‘I think my dream—what I really hope for—is that the first instinct, when they see the work, is an emotional reaction.’
Based in Tel Aviv, artist Guy Yanai reflects on the many influences behind his latest body of work and his lifelong love of art. From his early interest in artists like Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg, to now gaining insight on his paintings from his children, Yanai discusses continually aiming to pursue an art-filled existence.
