The old masters never painted what lurked above their pastoral scenes. their skies were too pristine, too innocent. that day, while studying classical landscapes, a thought crept in - what if lovecraft had possessed the brush of claude lorrain? the floating horror emerged naturally, its tentacles reaching down like inverse rain, eyes multiplying across its surface like a viral infection of consciousness. The landscape below remained serene, almost mockingly so. mountains stretched into infinity while that thing hovered, neither belonging nor alien, a paradox of existence that the rocks and trees pretended not to notice. it was my way of corrupting the sublime, of letting cosmic horror seep into the carefully constructed order of classical composition..

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.
