His ancestors were from Shfaram, some say to the priests who came to the place with the Sanhedrin after the destruction of the Second Temple. In the 1920s they left Shfaram to Haifa. He adopted the name 'Zarenkine' casually. In 1989, he published his third book of poems, and asked the artists Ovadia El-Kara and Menashe Kadishman, who were among his clients at the Bank Hapoalim branch in Dalit al-Carmel, to illustrate his cover. The two advised him that he would give up the Cohen and adopt a new, more artistic and original name. "Cohen is like the Halabi among the Druze," he told him. "There are hundreds of them, who will recognize you at all?" Sat together and decided on 'Zarenkin. Since Cohen-Zarnikin remembers himself he paints. His paintings over the years indicate an inner disquiet stemming from the desire to experience the influence of leading figures throughout his life. In his childhood and adolescence, these were architectural drawings of stone buildings in Jerusalem; During his studies at the Leo Baeck high school in Haifa, it was the Haifa teacher and painter Immanuel Sela, who left his mark on it. In the 1980s, he met the artist David Navot, the son of Yosef Zaritsky, Steimatzky Reuven Rubin and Ziona Tagger; Navot taught him techniques of drawing and use of color and his influence drew abstract Expressionist style. A special influence on his works was to paint Uri Lesser, who lived in Berlin and died before World War II. Ten years ago he began to paint in the style of "super realistic" when he was exposed to the works of the painters from the former Soviet Union. He seems to have reached the artistic style that suits him best: a combination of technical challenge, concentration, loyalty to the painted object, deciphering the camera work that is the source of many of his paintings During work. Super-Realism was born in the 1970s. Its contents touch upon the urban environment, daily life and consumer culture, and the work is done with precise and polished copying of the subject to the last detail, until the viewer feels that this is reality. Many realist painters photograph the contents of the paintings, and then copy the enlarged photograph detail to detail. Many of them work in a color splash technique, without brushing. Technical accuracy and the method of spraying require an objectively objective look at the subject of painting. Unlike many of the artists in this style, Cohen-Zarnkin paints with oil. Although he is often assisted by photographs, he sometimes paints directly the object facing him as in the silent paintings of centuries gone by. Painting in oil gives his paintings a sense of warmth and intimacy. At the same time, the accuracy of his paintings is not perfect. The theme - in this case bottles of wine, trophies, crates - is perfect, but sub-themes like wall, floor, table used as background, abrasive. This is an unmediated statement about the importance of the subjects in his paintings. "In 1985, I purchased a bottle of wine from the first bottles of the Golan Heights Winery, and since then I have accumulated a large collection of old wine bottles, and in 1985 I was a member of the wine and cigar club. Abroad, visiting wineries, tasting special wines. On the last trip to Ch?teauneuf-du-Pape I encountered a collection of old wine bottles from the winery, took them down and photographed them. A friend sat on a bench outside with a cigar and a wineglass. I took it. I photographed the wineries and the vines, and when I returned to Israel, I began painting. " The current exhibition is a documentation of a largely male culture: wine of all kinds, drinking utensils, and of course cigars. The works are tight, minimalist, concrete and not decorated with unnecessary decorations. In this respect, nothing shakes the viewer apart from the wonder of the technical skill, romanticism, sensuality and classics of the wine bottles that "flow" and touch the viewer, like a fine product that time can not.
