A book by Tel Aviv's renowned painter Guy Yanai

Guy Yanai’s first book “First We Feel Then We Fall" mixes photography, drawing, and painting in the elaboration of a unique visual language. The book opens with a trove of found images that have informed and inspired Yanai’s practice.These photographic sources are followed by drawings, curatorial essays by Nuit Banai
and James Trainor, and twenty-two plates, including twelve oil paintings on linen, and ten oil paintings on custom birch panels. The book was produced in conjunction with the artist’s solo exhibition that opened this summer at The Alon Segev Gallery in Tel - Aviv.

"First We Feel Then We Fall" is printed with Dalum and Leykam paper stocks, the cover features printed-paper on boards, and the spine is done with silkscreen and fabric.
