The serie INKBLOT By Ian Shevack is inspired by the art of Klecksography, a unique technique centered on the creation of art through inkblots. His approach to art-making is notably unconventional; Shevack works with raw, unstretched canvas laid directly on the floor, a method that affords him the freedom to engage with his canvas in a deeply physical and spontaneous manner. This technique involves stretching, folding, dripping, and gushing Japanese ink across the canvas, allowing Shevack to interact with his medium in an intensely dynamic fashion. This method allows for the serendipitous emergence of forms and figures, as the paint is applied in a manner that invites unpredictability and chance. The act of folding the canvas post-application introduces a symmetrical, yet entirely unique, pattern to each piece, reminiscent of psychological inkblot tests that probe the depths of the human psyche. Through this approach, the series becomes a profound exploration of the subconscious, where each painting serves as a mirror reflecting the viewer's innermost thoughts and emotions.
