Blackk
“Life is a series of experiences that leave an impact, shaping my actions, feelings, and contemplations. Even seemingly insignificant experiences contribute to my internal makeup, tracing back to create a unique effect within me, which forms my identity. I see this accumulation of effects as a journey of self-knowledge, which drives my art, as I create a unique, immersive experience for the viewer through mark-makings and colours. I explore the possibility of oil paint as a medium and its ability, employing brushstrokes as the factors that evoke a range of emotions and reactions. Rather than focusing on a specific narrative or ideology, I am interested in the potential effects of the pictorial and the multifaceted experiences it can offer. Through repetition, overlay, and gestural mark-making paired with overwhelming colours, I elicit an endless array of resonances. Creating a realm of internalization, I invite the viewers to participate in an ongoing 'Open-ended pictorial' discourse.”
Margot Blackk is a self-taught abstract painter who explores identity in her open-ended pictorial work. Her art encourages internalization and offers limitless interpretations, free from narrow ideology. Margot's immersive art fosters self-knowledge and invites viewers to engage in personal reflection. She uses gestural mark-making and layering techniques to create expressive artwork that evokes emotions and reactions. Through her art, Margot creates a realm of self-discovery that is open to interpretation and encourages immersion in the art.
