Toys reflects Emre Özakat’s nuanced dialogue between digital imagery and traditional painting. Rooted in his experience growing up immersed in the uncensored and ephemeral world of early internet culture, the work captures a digitally sourced image of toys and reinterprets it through layered oil painting. The blurred forms and textured surfaces encourage a deeper, more reflective engagement, highlighting the tension between fleeting online visuals and the enduring physicality of painting.
