Memories taste like overripe fruit when devoured by cosmic entities. i painted this after discovering an ancient dutch still life in which all the fruits had been replaced with eyes. the tentacles emerged from my obsession with the way consciousness fragments when faced with impossible geometries. two watchers stand guard, their silhouettes carved from the negative space between reality and dream. the sunflower serves as a cruel joke - a reminder that even in the depths of cosmic horror, nature maintains its sense of ironic decoration..

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. Explore the full collection at silkarthouse.com/collections/exit-vectors.

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.
