Boof-E-Koor

“Boof-e Koor” unfolds through a visual language of rupture, opacity, and unstable space. Working primarily in black ink and layered gestural mark-making, these paintings move between abstraction and fragmented figuration without fully settling into either condition. The surface becomes a psychological field where memory, displacement, and perception collide.

Rather than illustrating the narrative of The Blind Owl, the work approaches it as an atmosphere — a fractured mental landscape shaped by isolation, repetition, and the instability of the self. Forms appear and disappear through accumulation, erasure, and interruption. Architectural traces, bodily fragments, and shadow-like presences emerge only temporarily before dissolving back into the material surface.

The paintings are built through an intuitive process of layering, covering, scraping, and reworking. Gesture functions less as expression and more as a record of tension between visibility and concealment. Darkness in these works is not symbolic; it operates as spatial pressure — compressing the image and destabilizing orientation.

Influenced by contemporary painting discourse surrounding materiality, fragmentation, and embodied perception, the series examines how images can carry psychological residue without becoming descriptive. These works resist fixed interpretation and instead invite the viewer into a shifting space between memory and abstraction, presence and disappearance.
