'Bob the Builder' is an attempt to find the middle ground between painting and sculpture. The recycled readymade bulk bags are a recurring medium in Parnas' works; They provide a strong yet fragile mass and bear a sincere history of labour. The bulk bags are painted in childlike fashion, as suitable for the children's TV star. The work invites the audience to consider the satirical aspect of art making and masculinity. "Can we fix it? Yes we can".

Boaz Parnas

Boaz Parnas (b. 1998, Jerusalem) is a London-based contemporary artist working across painting, sculpture, and installation. A graduate of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design (BFA Hons) and The Glasgow School of Art’s exchange programme, he is a recipient of the Cooper Prize for academic excellence and the Sustainable Bezalel Award. Parnas’s work merges humour, material experimentation, and cultural symbolism to explore belonging and everyday resilience, reinterpreting familiar forms through tactile processes and instinctive composition.
