With the bright pastel colors, Teko evokes the everyday live and forces us to look at objects that are by now become so banalized and institutionalized. With every depicted subject, a gun, a coca-cola bottle, a remote or cellphone, we are so familiarized that we have forgotten to reflect on their function, collective meaning or simply overlooked aesthetic beauty. By working with collage and acrylic, Teko raises a question that was so central to the legacy of pop art: what is the difference between the painted object and the real object and why that depiction obtains the status of art and not the everyday physical object? What is the difference between the two objects in art philosophical way?
