Untitled 

Adnan Coker created this painting using traditional techniques and materials. Notice how the pigment is suspended in a medium, likely oil or acrylic, and then carefully applied to the canvas surface. The artist has used these materials and processes to create a work with a sense of precision, each line rendered with meticulous care, building up the geometric structures. The flat, smooth surfaces of the forms showcase an interesting contrast with the implied depth of the work. Coker has carefully employed these properties to imbue the painting with a meditative quality. The tools and techniques used here – brushes, solvents, and the skilled hand of the artist – reflect a conscious decision to engage with the traditions of painting. While not overtly referencing themes of labor or class, the sheer amount of work involved in this meticulous painting speaks to a dedication to process. This attention to detail elevates the work from mere representation to a powerful exploration of form, inviting us to appreciate the value of craft within fine art.
