Organic Abstracts

In Sági’s latest artistic period, he visualizes our micro-world through the formal language of organic abstraction. His main focus is on how the fundamental components of imaging lines and colors broken down into bits of (natural and electronic) light can be used to represent unseen elements as well as the micro and macro features of the world around us. In Sági’s works, a form emerges from the infinite system of lines, akin to how cells begin to divide and cluster. The line drawings created by repetitive gestures resemble the microscopic and macroscopic representations of microbes and unicellular organisms, based on the artist’s own observations under a light microscope. His creative process can also be characterized by a transhuman attitude, as he incorporates the nature of digital imaging and technological anomalies – such as chromatic aberration – into his precise hand drawings. Some of the artworks can be interpreted as pseudo-tectonic models of fictitious seismographic measurement results, continuing his previous series.

This work is constructed through repeated, layered gestures applied in very thin, translucent passages of ink. The surface builds up slowly through overlapping geometric segments, where each layer slightly shifts in tone, direction, and density. Subtle variations accumulate, producing a muted, iridescent field that changes with light and viewing angle.
From a distance the painting appears restrained and nearly uniform, but at close range its internal structure begins to unfold into small displacements, rhythms, and optical tensions. The layered surface reacts sensitively to movement, making the work difficult to photograph accurately — much of its visual information exists between visibility and disappearance. Rather than depicting an image, the painting functions as a perceptual field shaped by repetition, duration, and instability.
