Luka Rayski

I want my work to share the elegance in which people and objects overcome difficulties and accommodate to unpredictable conditions, such as catastrophes or love. I’m in a pursuit of better understanding the agency of things that surround me, the subject of particular work and the material I use for making it. My own agency is also something that puzzles me. I choose to paint because it’s a golden mean between the direct and the mediate forms of expression. I choose other mediums when I want to enjoy the luxury of making a less compromised statement. I embrace the imminent fallibility of the models people create to understand the world and predict the future. Therefore I try to avoid making conclusions.
