Yizhak Elyashiv's prints explore the potential of variation within set parameters. His "Handful of Grains" maps are large six by ten foot intaglios, each made up of a grid of sixty steel plates. The maps trace a series of permutations, each interwoven one to the other through complex, intricate webs of line, point, overlayment, and overpainting. While Elyashiv is reluctant to make statements about his work, he does acknowledge a concern with order and ordering systems, a universal order that is perhaps essentially mystical. The maps are quiet, contemplative—as are most of his works—and minimalist to advantage. From reevescontemporary.com
