“There was something deeply unsettling about painting a figure emerging from its own dissolution. the way the form seemed to both construct and deconstruct itself with each brushstroke reminded me of those quantum particles that exist in multiple states simultaneously. i kept thinking about theseus's ship - if we replace every atom in our body over time, are we still the same person? The darkness behind the figure wasn't just empty space - it was pregnant with possibility, like schrodinger's void. i wanted that murky atmosphere to feel like a primordial soup where identity is both born and unmade. the warm light catching the edges of the form was meant to suggest a kind of phoenix moment, but one that's perpetually unfolding rather than reaching completion..”

About the collection

‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship.

For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact.

Produced by EVİN Art Gallery

Each print is produced by EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art.

The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
