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.
