Diving into Ing K\u02bcs painting is like entering a cathedral and getting lost in a disquieting realm. Ing shakes us and pulls us out of our comfort zone. Few artists dare go to such a level of frankness, and don\u02bct seek to please or to provoke just for the sake of it. Behind each of Ing\u02bcs canvases lies an inner vision, whether elated, melancholy or darkly prophetic. Her tableaux are mindscapes unearthing primal fears and urges. Their sheer power haunts us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Made over a period of twenty years, Apocalypso<\/em>\u02bcs body of work transcends time and space. It is both jubilant and terrifying. It mocks and frontally tackles what is not frontal: the travesty of truth, the perfidy of hidden powers, and the dark side of each of us. Close to her mind are the tragedies that struck her country, and the growing concern that another one might come. Her painting denounces the desperate process of negating reality and reveals what she deeply fears: the \u201cblack and deep desires\u201d of men of power.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u2018Apocalypso<\/em>\u2019 images are intense with feeling: grief, melancholy and pain are painted on the canvases as if they were yantras being tattooed; each one inspired by the artist\u2019s own lost battles with the powers-that-be now leading the world to apocalypse. The colour red that appears in all her paintings record the blood tracks that have flowed all these years. It\u2019s possible to sense the pain waiting for absolution, yet Ing\u2019s work invokes prophecy rather than a curse of vengeance, by transforming negative energy into rich source of creativity for this series of paintings.<\/p>\n
