Artwork description:

This triptych is an in-depth study of the urban palimpsest—a wall that has been repeatedly painted, covered with posters, and subsequently decayed by time, revealing fragmented stories and colors underneath. The works P, K, and O, while autonomous, together form a cohesive abstract painting, examining the relationship between enforced geometry and the chaos of decomposition.
The inspiration lies in the aesthetic of the found collage—the beauty created by the accidental overlay of paint layers, lettering, and streaks. The dominant motif in these works is geometric shapes (circle, rectangle, diagonal lines) trapped beneath peeling paint, forming the conceptual heart of the series. The fragmented inscriptions (lettering, typography) add an element of memory and mystery, suggesting abandoned messages and histories that have been forgotten or deliberately obscured.
I want to evoke a sense of fascination with the history of the place and the recognition of connections to historical painting (e.g., early abstraction, or post-graffiti art) within these raw forms. The works are simultaneously dense, visually rich in textural details and compositionally ordered by stark lines of division. Together, as a triptych, they form a monumental micro-landscape with an archaic power.
