Peek investigates how painting can extend past its surface. Working on raw linen, Marx’s process involves painting meticulous, meditative lines across the surface, then cutting into it. This transformation turns the canvas into a tactile, sensual skin that blurs the line between image and materiality. By exposing the space behind the canvas, Marx invites us into a contemplative realm that questions the very nature of what is seen.
