“The owl duchess held court in her midnight garden, where pale hands reached up like ghostly flowers seeking validation from her crystalline crown. the spectral fish, ancient witnesses to countless secrets, drifted through the darkness as silent guardians of forbidden knowledge. i painted this after discovering an old manuscript about medieval secret societies that used garden symbolism to encode their rituals. the way the hands stretch toward the owl reminded me of renaissance paintings of supplicants reaching for divine grace, but twisted into something more unsettling. i wanted to capture that moment when beauty transforms into menace, when the familiar becomes foreign..” About the collection ‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship. For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact. Explore the full collection at silkarthouse.com/collections/exit-vectors. Produced by EVİN Art Gallery Each print is produced by EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art. The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
