Jungle Works

Sági’s artistic journey has undergone a profound transformation over the years. While his earlier works were rooted in geometric abstraction and structured patterns, his recent practice embraces a more organic and immersive approach. In 2025, he spent four months in an artist residency deep in the heart of the Thai jungle—50 kilometers from the nearest town—where he found himself profoundly attuned to the rhythms of nature. The lake, with its ever-changing reflections, floating lotus flowers, and dense vegetation, became the focal point of his latest series.
Working primarily with ink on large-scale paper, Sági’s new paintings abandon defined linework in favor of fluid, spontaneous movements. Through dripping and controlled flow, he allows the ink to find its own path across the surface, echoing the organic unpredictability of water, plants, and reflections. This approach transforms the act of painting into a dynamic process of chance and control, where forms emerge through layers of translucent washes and cascading pigments.
This new direction marks a significant departure from his previous explorations of algorithmic repetition and geometric precision. Whereas his earlier works investigated the fragmentation of time and the imperfections that arise from structured systems, his current practice is more instinctive—an intuitive response to the sensory and atmospheric qualities of his surroundings. The ink’s fluidity becomes a metaphor for the movement of water, the shifting light, and the quiet yet powerful forces of nature.
With this shift, Sági’s work becomes a meditation on transience, interconnectedness, and the delicate balance between chaos and harmony. His paintings are not mere representations but manifestations of natural processes—visual echoes of a landscape where forms dissolve and reappear, capturing the essence of impermanence.
