Fork has spent more than half of his life painting, but even more of it drawing – it solely depends on the artist’s willingness to experiment, whether he uses paper, a wall, skin, a pair of shoes or canvas. The works on display at this exhibition are the result of the first global quarantine era. This kind of confinement came with constraints for everyone while at the same time granting us (forced) freedom – Fork took advantage of the situation by processing the everyday life in isolation as part of a meditative creative procedure.

The artist had the opportunity to develop a rather time-consuming creative procedural principle: in a process divided into parts, the paint itself gained space. Fork worked not only with it, but with ‘It’ – he evoked the underlying content invisible to us from the stains formed by the watercolour paint itself. The collection is also “water-based” in this sense, as the finished and semi-finished images have also undergone an inevitable sub-creative process as a result of the pipe rupture.
