The Gooses, 2025

The Gooses project unfolds as a dialogue between classical oil painting and algorithmic vision. The artist repeatedly returns to oil as a material anchor, now using it to imitate the logic of neural image decomposition. What begins as a direct, figurative motif gradually fractures into unstable color fields and shifting forms, echoing the way a neural network dissolves and reconstructs images. Through this return to painting, the artist tests whether the qualities of touch, imperfection, and human presence can survive processes of digital abstraction. The series exists at the threshold where material gesture and computational logic mirror one another, revealing painting not as a static medium, but as a site of continuous transformation.

NOTHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS HERE

This series exploring stillness, transition, and perceptual thresholds.
Its recurring figure often stands before a red door, path, or open landscape, suspended in a moment of uncertainty — neither entering nor leaving. These spaces are not real locations, but psychological landscapes shaped by migration, memory, and fragmented geographies.
The series asks what exists in moments where nothing seems to happen. Katsur treats stillness as a state of hidden tension, where unseen transformation is already unfolding.
Color, especially red, functions as both emotional and bodily signal, while scent and imagined sound expand the works beyond the visual.
Rather than depicting narrative events, the series examines pause itself as a space where perception, memory, and invisible processes begin to shift.

02

ILLUSORY, 2022-2023

The Illusory series explores the shifting boundaries between reality and illusion within the contemporary visual landscape.
The works are developed through an indirect process: the starting point is a set of external descriptions of images that do not yet exist. These textual projections serve as a framework for the paintings, guiding composition, atmosphere, and narrative without fixing them in advance.
This approach raises questions about how images take shape and how meaning is constructed before it becomes visible.

This series is built around pairs of traditional oil paintings from series ILLUSORY, THE GOOSE and NOTHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS HERE that undergo a process of digital translation. Two physically painted canvases are merged by a neural network, producing a third image that exists between them. The algorithm does not invent a new scene but negotiates between gestures, colors, and compositional tensions already present in the originals. At times the result appears unexpectedly precise, at others overly resolved, exposing the difference between intuitive decision-making and data-driven logic.

This project translates a hand-painted surface into a digital environment, where it transforms beyond recognition. Through editing, distortion, and visual fragmentation, the painterly image undergoes both disintegration and reformation.
The work draws on artistic practices that explore the fragility and temporality of the image, as well as its ability to exist between media. A key structural principle is mirror symmetry, which creates a rhythmic, almost hypnotic order, where gesture, form, and color appear both stable and elusive.

This video project explores how the real becomes unstable within a digital system.
Using a recorded act of drawing as its source, the work places a physical gesture into a digital environment where it can no longer be read literally. Rather than enhancing the image, the process dissolves it, shifting it toward abstraction and loss.
The piece reflects on how the value and perception of a traditional medium change when filtered through digital logic, where clarity is replaced by distortion and reduced legibility.
