Ari Salka
Ari Salka’s work explores themes of rebirth, differentiation, and the fluidity of identity. Salka captures the constant evolution of selfhood, where ghosts from the past emerge from earthly forms, signifying dysphoric rebirth and resurrection. The presence of water and sutures in their paintings symbolizes both fragility and strength, reflecting the complex interplay between celebration and dismay in the human experience.
Salka describes their process-oriented abstraction and expressionist painting as a documentation of performance, continually collaborating with future, past, and present selves. This approach allows their work to connect deeply with primary human emotions, making art a profound space for inquiry and emotional resonance.
