E Sistan

E Sistan is a London-based artist whose abstract work tends toward minimalism. As the spontaneity of the gesture takes over, a meditative state emerges leaving emptiness dialoguing with plenitude. She employs small strokes to create large entanglements, all essentially in sync with each other, no matter how far apart they are. The blanks are not an inert presence, they are the breathing spaces. She mainly works with ink, reproducing the millennial gesture of dipping the nib in the inkwell. Physical proximity to the artwork is essential for grasping the properties of the densely positioned swishes and flicks, so that you too can get lost in the artwork.
