There was something deeply satisfying about painting this piece during the winter solstice. the colossal figure emerged from memories of reading lovecraft's 'the whisperer in darkness' while experiencing sleep paralysis. those tiny spirits wandering below - they reminded me of moths drawn to a deadly flame, yet they seemed so peaceful about their inevitable doom. the contrast felt like a perfect metaphor for humanity's relationship with the unknowable. the wildflowers scattered across the field were my quiet rebellion against the horror - little dots of defiant life beneath an entity that operates on a scale beyond our comprehension..

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.
