The sky turned liquid that day, defying gravity in the most peculiar way. figures stood transfixed as the heavens began to pour upward into some unseen cosmic drain, creating a luminous vortex that seemed to beckon us toward an impossible ascension. it reminded me of that time i witnessed the northern lights fold in on themselves, except this felt more like nature having an existential crisis. i painted this after discovering an ancient sumerian tablet that described the sky as a bowl of water held up by giants - they were wrong, it's actually a bathtub with a faulty drain..

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.
