Bio

Ian Orkis Art is considered the freest of all human creations. This is because art is not made to be used. However, even art is not completely free. Purpose and meaning are created along with action, and maybe this is the process of gradually losing freedom. Art is truly liberated only when it is the pure possibility that could become anything. Thus artists focus more on freedom of interpretation — integrated aesthetic meaning or possibilities of interpretation by the general public — rather than what is intended by the artist. Setting aside the fact that painting is the progressive art form, even if painting could be ascended to immaculate art, if the artist concentrates on expression, the work cannot contain liberty. Humans are capable of imagination, and the artist must always leave open the door of imagi nation. In the process of creating and modifying the artwork, the deleted parts open up infinite spac es for imagination between the artist and the general public. Perfect expression is perfect constriction, and prevent viewers from further accessing the dep ths of the artwork. The philosophical value I aspire is circulating back to the place before creation, in order to transform painting itself, the progressive art form of action, into art, and in order to make painting into an art with independent depth. This process is made possible by disappearing what has already been made. Also, this is the necessary step for expanding imagination, and this painting is the attempt to advance art through creation and disappearance. What has disappeared is already within humans, and the disappeared will be transferred to the general public, each taking its own shape and form. This is because the most important element extracted only by going through disappearance, and its power of reality is genuine.
