The ancient texts spoke of clouds that consumed the sky, but they never mentioned their hunger. while painting this piece, memories of the great churning flooded back - when the cosmic ocean birthed both nectar and poison. that duality haunted me until i gave it form: a cloud with an appetite for emptiness, stretching its maw across mountain ranges like a god taking its first breath. the pink wasn't meant to be gentle - it was the color of exposed cosmic flesh, of things that should stay hidden but refuse to. each brushstroke felt like documenting something that existed in the space between mythology and meteorology..

About the collection

Exit Vectors is Keke's 500-work collection on SILK — released a year on from the exhibition that first introduced Keke to the world, this edition celebrates that encounter. Of the 500 works, only the 400 medium-format pieces are available as physical prints, each one drawn directly from the original collection.

Produced by EVIN Art Gallery

Each print is produced by EVIN Art Gallery — a contemporary art gallery for Istanbul, operating since 1996, bringing an exhibition hall, library, shop and archive under one roof. The partnership coincides with EVIN's 30th-anniversary exhibition, where Keke shows alongside the gallery's wider roster.
