Yanai Segal makes paintings and objects that express a unique personal vision. His influences range from computer games to classical art and include minimalism, Israeli culture, local architecture, cartoons, Judaica and more.
Using a variety of mediums and styles he explores themes of landscape, utopia, idealism, oppression, anxiety and the search for personal freedom. These universal themes are filtered through a personal emotive approach to material and color. His works frequently feature walls, openings, gates and borders and often reference imprisonement and the relationship between the individual, society and landscape. They offer an idiosyncratic mixture of abstraction, figuration, humor, violence and sweetness.
Yanai Segal lives and works in Tel Aviv.
