Untitled / Unfinished II , 2020
Some works don’t seek closure , they remain open, unresolved by design. Untitled / Unfinished II doesn’t feel incomplete; it feels in motion. A thought unfolding. A gesture held midair.
Composed of sewn canvas, linen, black textile, gesso, and acrylic, the piece is both built and unbuilt. You can read its making in every stitch and surface , not concealed, not refined, but laid bare.
There’s an honesty here, a kind of rawness that invites closeness. The black canvas cuts across softly, not to overpower, but to disrupt. Gesso moves like a veil, not to erase but to expose. The linen anchors everything , not just as fabric, but as trace, tension, and time.

"Although it is important to understand the conceptual basis of my work, I also believe that there should be something left that is unexplainable And that is what has been described as 'poetic excess' or for want of a Better word, beauty."

CURATOR´S NOTE
What draws us to Untitled / Unfinished II is its quiet insistence on being unresolved. There’s a kind of generosity in how it lays itself bare , seams exposed, materials layered without disguise, as if inviting us into the act of making itself. It doesn’t try to conclude or explain. Instead, it holds space for uncertainty, for things in progress, for moments that haven't settled. It asks us to look slowly, to notice what’s in-between: tension, texture, memory. This isn’t a work that speaks loudly, but it stays with you. It reminds us that incompletion isn’t a flaw , it’s a form of openness. A place where meaning can keep unfolding.
