Portrait / Palm
2018
A haunting and fragmented figure emerges from the sleek surface of an aluminum panel, where Wekua merges oil paint with silkscreen ink to create a layered tension between the handmade and the mechanical. The work evokes a sense of psychological unease, blending portraiture with abstraction as form dissolves and reasserts itself across the cool, reflective ground. Characteristic of Wekua's practice, the piece draws on themes of memory, displacement, and identity, rendering the human presence simultaneously vivid and elusive.
