He is a magpiefor obscure sources <strong>in</strong> <strong>art</strong> and the worldat large, which he translates <strong>in</strong>to his workswith uncool, yet conv<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>in</strong>cerity.He is enamoured by aesthetics, but wouldnever be tied to a set because hisexplorations render his work seem<strong>in</strong>gly bymany different <strong>art</strong>ists. His ultimate goalis exhibition-mak<strong>in</strong>g, tak<strong>in</strong>g his disparateworks and construct<strong>in</strong>g layers ofconnections.4 Forbidden + 3 Permitted Questions:Who? From What? When? What For?What Is It? How? Why?V<strong>in</strong>itsky’s <strong>LISTE</strong> presentation comprisesof seven large-scale, elastic works. On baseplanes of coloured pa<strong>in</strong>t applied direct onthe wall, he uses lengths of elastic stretchedround nails to del<strong>in</strong>eate shapes.His technique happily occupies traditionalmedias of sculpture, pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g and draw<strong>in</strong>g;but he subtly uses and comb<strong>in</strong>es materialsto pull them <strong>in</strong>to <strong>in</strong>def<strong>in</strong>ite territories.His references range widely from housedecorat<strong>in</strong>g swatches to children’s dot-to-dotgames, and from DIY to two <strong>art</strong>istic p<strong>in</strong>naclesof material <strong>in</strong>novation Dieter Roth andFred Sandback.V<strong>in</strong>itsky’s series has its orig<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> a 1955Hebrew children’s book, <strong>in</strong> which the writerposed four forbidden and three permittedquestions on the nature of the universe.V<strong>in</strong>itsky splices exist<strong>in</strong>g imagery fromsources such as text-books and c<strong>art</strong>oons,and reconfigures the p<strong>art</strong>s <strong>in</strong>to spatialarrangements on his pa<strong>in</strong>ted surfaces.Look<strong>in</strong>g at his practice there are keychapters: techniques and sources are two,for example, which are explored andactualized <strong>in</strong> these works. Another is based<strong>in</strong> how he embeds his decision-mak<strong>in</strong>gprocess with<strong>in</strong> works: so crucial to him <strong>in</strong>order that it be dynamically transferred <strong>in</strong>toa range of enabl<strong>in</strong>g questions for the viewerto approach the work: What is it? How isit made? Why is it like this? Did you want tobe an astronomer when you were a boy?
