Founders’ Gallery

Over the last two years, I have designed funky, narrative, gestural spaces through my lens as a painter. The spaces likely do not create a functioning architecture as they are only built inside my small laptop but they participate in a radical sensitivity to experience.

My recent studies in the realm of architecture gave rise to a love of the tactility of painting pigments as well as established a re-valuation of the handcrafted tectonics that can evoke basic human emotion.

House by the Painter is a painterly space having both computer-aided complexity and artisanal materiality such as the tactile canvas walls made of different shapes and the concrete filigree.

The installation eliminates the fixed categories of painting and architecture, gallery and private space, and creator and visitor. People in this synoptic architectural space converge in their dialogic engagements. Everyone is the protagonist of the ever-changing story and leaves their own artistic trace in this space.
