Yeshaya Dank - A bit about where i came from by: (2023) Photography

A bit about where i came from by Yeshaya Dank:

I grew up orthodox jewish, and in the closet as a gay man, because being gay was treated like addiction in the orthodox jewish community. Art was my escape. I did 3D computer graphic art, paper mache, pottery, painting, drawing, and conceptual art. I then went on to study to become a rabbi. Got kicked out of rabbinical college with my bachelors degree but without rabbinical ordination cause i asked: "why does it say love thy fellow as thyself; if your against gay love?" Then went on to become an Entreprenuer. Eventually i found my way back to art.

They play a big role in helping us receive the resources we need from overseas! ​ I painted this lighthouse piece as I wanted to shed light on how important lighthouses are and how much more we need to appreciate what they do for us. Pictured above is the painting hanging on the wall As you can see, someone is dancing/making a commotion to get help on a rocky outcrop far out a sea, somehow they have been lucky enough to have a lighthouse spot them and are now in the lighthouse beams! In this artwork I wanted to explore 2 ideas: ​A: I love lighthouse and I think they are amazing. I think that they are something that in society is not looked at enough or recognized for how much it does for us, cause if not for them, ship wouldn't be able to see at night and we wouldn't be able to get the thing...

space resort by Yeshaya Dank (me), contemporary 3D watercolor painting on canvas

Image
Picture on the below is the painting  called: space resort by Yeshaya Dank. You've come to space as a tourist sometime in the future... What would like to do? Where would you like to grab a bite to eat, then go for cocktails and finally, where...would you to go out to? There is everything here like you would have in a lively beach town... Picture on the below is the painting hanging on the wall. There are lively clubs, bars and restaurants; jam packed with happy people, enjoying a meal or a sip of a cocktail while enjoying the sights.....oh the sights....they are glorious! They are out-worldly literally!! Planets rotate, shards of rock hurl past and colourful streams of mist swirl all around...what a view! Pictured above are some of the sights...the moon floating amongst a golden cloud of shining mist, comets swirl around, and there are glistening stars in every direction! ​I created this painting completely based off of my imagination, as if we could go to space on a vacation...
