I.K | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

IK-ART first applies himself to the conception of the background that he covers with large abstract, delicately nuanced blocks of colour, using large slabs of stainless steel that act as spatulas. This essential step “gives the work its tonality”. The artist then interprets his motif essentially with his fingers. The wild flowers are then sketched with many successive touches using bright colours. Having adopted an oil painting technique, the painter works his compositions by affixing multiple bases onto the canvas. These allow him the opportunity to create various visual effects that range from the search for haziness to clarity, thus accentuating the materiality of the subject being represented. The lively and precise action produces a profound and real dynamism to the ensemble.
