Yaacov Dorchin, an Israeli, born 1946.
Yaakov Dorchin was born in Haifa in 1946. In 1958 his family moved to Kibbutz Ramat David. In his youth he took up boxing and also regularly visited the biological Institute in the Carmel, where he studied taxidermy and biology with Pinchas Cohen. After his marriage he moved to Kibbutz Kfar Hahoresh. He began to practice art as an autodidact. In addition to working as an artist, he is also an entomologist, specializing in the research and classification of beetles. He began exhibiting his works beginning in 1967. During the 1970s, Dorchin created space-based installations made using assemblage techniques. During the 1980s literary motifs entered his work, especially the image of an angel, which has been a part of his work ever since. Between 1995 and 1993 he created a series of "Bar Atoma" sculptures, based on iron that was stored in storage pits in the steel complex in Acre. In his sculptures and drawings, he seeks to create a dialectical connection between raw material and spirit.
