MIR STEHT DER KOPF VI Artwork

PLAY - Visual Experiments by Nae Zerka In my new series PLAY, I show a continuation of my artistic exploration on the subject of transformation, as well as new playful experiences of limitations. The new works feature portrait photographs, as well as graphic elements with a painterly touch and even everyday objects, such as adhesive tape. I am an artist who enjoys playing with various forms of artistic experimentation, harnessing the importance of play as a primal source of artistic inspiration and a method for stimulating the associative flow of ideas. For PLAY, I reworked both portrait photographs and vector graphics using digital and analogue painting techniques to create new visual worlds. My works reflect the changes and challenges of modern society in the age of digitalisation and crises. New forms and materials thereby make it possible to playfully challenge the viewer's perception. "PLAY is a way for me to express my visual freedom and play with the boundaries between reality and fiction, I want to encourage viewers to question their own perceptions and embark on a playful journey of discovery."
