P7
P7’s practice is rooted in a fascination with the objects, images, and fragments that populate everyday life. Rather than treating them as symbols that require interpretation, he employs them as vehicles for expressing heightened emotions, the subconscious, and the pulsing energy within him.
Central to P7’s approach is a balance between creativity, technique and design. He incorporates subjects from photographs, such as sweets, food, living creatures, and his own design work into surreal compositions that layer harmony and juxtaposition to provoke unexpected emotions and offer alternative ways of seeing and making sense of the world.
Formally, P7’s work oscillates between design and fine art. Realism, character art, and his distinctive visual language coexist in his paintings and sculptures. He does not reconcile these disparate elements into a seamless whole, giving his works a sense of playfulness, intensity, and a sense of estrangement or contradiction. The viewer’s experience unfolds within an ambivalent terrain suspended between imagination and uncertainty.
The composition of images and objects in P7’s works draws in the viewers’ gaze. The atmosphere of the exhibition space itself is integral to the work. Viewers take on an active role as they explore paintings and sculptures within a space, and form interpretations based on their own experiences. In this sense, the artwork is not merely contained within itself, but continues to expand through the unique experiences of each person who encounters it.
