The wolf emerged from a place where nightmares go to die. it wasn't about fear - it was about the raw, primal energy that exists in the space between survival and surrender. while painting this, memories of goya's black paintings kept flooding back, especially that haunting 'dog' piece. but where goya's dog was drowning in emptiness, my wolf was devouring it. the clouds became teeth, the sky became flesh, and somewhere in that contrast, i found what i was looking for: the moment when nature bares its fangs at divinity. this piece was born in the negative space between instinct and intellect, where savagery meets the sublime..

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.
