About the Item

‘While you are sleeping’ (Seascape Series) In his seascape works, Sukan manipulates his imagery connected to the constant tensions between the mental grasp of the specificity and representation. He starts taking his pictures above sea level contextualizes the scenes and brings out a new kind of perception. At first glance, the viewer may not be suspicious of the situation but on close inspection, questions arise; if this is a nighttime shot, how come the ships in motion look so sharp as if they are from a frozen movie still? By reconstructing these environments from one portion to another, Sukan raises some of the most elemental questions about how we perceive the world we live in. The other side of duality comes out when we look at the full moon in the sky. The moon is in transit and clearly gives a hint that the world or in this case another planet turns on its own axis. He creates an image that represents the duality of time, and space in an undefined space. Arslan Sukan is a multi-faceted artist who is trained in interior architecture and photography and has tackled with ideas that question the limitations of human perception, the borders between the physical and the virtual as well as the visible and the invisible. Sukan’s work positions the artist as a challenging narrator who re-creates an idea or a form that confirm viewer expectations at first glance while undercutting them in practice.

Hesitation (Greece) - landscape photography
Located in New York, NY
This art work, as all of Marek`s pieces can be custom size. It is part of an edition of 5 and comes ready to hang. It was taken place in Kefalonia, Greece. I use the medium of photography freely and instinctively, at times beyond its conventional role, form and expectations. Constantly experimenting, discovering new meanings. Attempting to move imaginations. From sharp, colourful geometric shots to soft and calming landscapes. From intensely minimalist to intensely complex. Looking for beauty and poetry in the mundane. Hunting for treasures. Photographs chosen to present in collaboration with Contempop Gallery...
