Yoav Hainebach is a visual artist based in Berlin since 2020, a return enabled by historical justice and family origin. Hainebach was born in Tel Aviv, and has lived, studied, and worked in Beijing, New York and Boston. Hainebach works on, with, and in paper, using painting, printmaking, drawing, embossing, water-marking and paper-making to play with the space between reference and its visual abstraction. Hainebach’s work is often self-reflective of the material itself and poses questions of time-linearity, of erasure as creation, and of chance.
