Dimensions: 122cm (h) x 122cm (w)
Medium: oil sticks, paper, acrylic paint, and aerosol on canvas
Description: Against a vast expanse of unrelenting black—the primordial void of unspoken fears—this canvas yields to the stark poetry of white drawings, emergent like ghosts from the ether. Delicate lines, born of instinctive scrawls, trace ephemeral forms: fleeting figures that twist and elongate, chalky whispers of memory smeared across the darkness with the uncalculated grace of a child's hand on rain-slicked pavement. No colour intrudes to soften the contrast; instead, the white incisions carve revelations from obscurity—contours of hidden longings, skeletal maps of the subconscious, where absence speaks louder than presence. In this minimalist assault on the monochrome, the painting becomes a negative space alive with implication: the black engulfs, the white resists, together forging a dialogue between concealment and confession, inviting the eye to wander the luminous fractures and find its own story etched therein.
Collection Details: The “Visual Thinking” series by Tarik is a cornerstone of his artistic oeuvre, showcasing his relentless pursuit of innovation and emotional depth. In this series, Tarik pushes boundaries through experimental techniques, meticulously layering his work to evoke obsession, care, and a climactic sense of arousal. Each layer represents a deliberate step in his creative process, reflecting his commitment to capturing complex feelings and narratives. By challenging societal norms and rejecting restrictive labels, Tarik celebrates the individuality of the artist’s hand, emphasizing the creative process over conventional categorization. His work invites viewers to engage with art as a deeply personal expression, unbound by prescribed styles or trends, highlighting the power and rebellion inherent in authentic creation.
