He is interested in how this can be transformed to portray the curvature of the human body\, and the delicacy and flow of covering cloth. His meticulous technique and focus on quality and finish follow in the tradition of classical sculpture. Using marble\, onyx and alabaster\, sourced from around the world\, Vanstone’s work reflects the 21st century passion with the curvaceous architecture of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid\, together with the continuing allure of the human form as portrayed by artists such as Henry Moore. \nFor his solo show at Serena Morton\, Paul Vanstone looks at the human form close up. Using materials Vanstone has been working with for over a quarter of a century\, each piece starts in the quarry\, from Carrara in Italy to Portugal and India. Walking through these stone yards\, often well trodden paths through landscapes of marble\, these journeys are an essential part of the creative process\, stimulating ideas and forging new directions in his work. Back at the studio\, the blocks are drawn on\, one carving often informing the next. \nVanstone uses the particular qualities of each stone\, to convey how it absorbs and reflects light like human skin. He is able to transform hard stone to portray the softness and curvature of the human body. From subtle to dramatic\, he uses the veining of each stone to accentuate the form creating movement and drama. \nVanstone studied sculpture at Central St Martin’s School of Art and the Royal College of Art\, London. His work is in many distinguished collections\, both in the UK and internationally. Most recently\, his work has been sold to collections in Abu Dhabi\, Austria\, Norway\, Russia\, and the USA\, as well as many throughout the UK. \nFor enquiries\, a PDF catalogue or a price list\, please contact info@serenamorton.com. \nSerena Morton Limited343 Ladbroke GroveLondon W10 6HA \nwww.serenamorton.com \nTel: +44 (0) 790 463 6910 URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/intimacy-paul-vanstone/ LOCATION:Serena Morton Gallery\, 343 Ladbroke Grove\, London\, W10 6HA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Arts,Exhibitions,Free Events,Sculpture,Shows ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/aragon-head.jpg GEO:51.5237148;-0.2139386 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Serena Morton Gallery 343 Ladbroke Grove London W10 6HA United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=343 Ladbroke Grove:geo:-0.2139386,51.5237148 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200320T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200531T180000 DTSTAMP:20260504T085948 CREATED:20200305T052421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200305T052432Z UID:30054629-1584698400-1590948000@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:To the Edge of the World and back to their Roots DESCRIPTION:A man and a woman.

There will be 80 emerging and established artists on display\, both new to our fair as well as previous artists showing their new work. Over our 4 day event\, we continue our focus on accessibility by keeping Roy’s Art Fair entrance FREE for all. \nRoy’s Art Fair wants to support the recovery of London’s cultural sector\, the creative arts and our artists. \nThe safety of both exhibitors and the public are our main priority at the 6th Roy’s Art Fair\, which we will be going above and beyond to ensure. With the unfortunate cancellation of International art fairs\, due to travel restrictions for international clientele\, Roy’s will aim to deliver an exciting and safe UK Art Fair. \nThe team at Roy’s Art Fair are all artists in their own right and offer their invaluable expertise and support to both emerging and established artists as they navigate the art world. Their focus is primarily on developing a community led spirit initiated by artists to connect directly with the public and promote both the artists’ and buyers’ interests first. \nWhat sets us aside from the host of other art fairs now popping up around London is our comfortable yet energetic atmosphere that allows visitors to connect with artists and invest in artwork they love. Roy’s Art Fair does this at an approachable level\, whether you’re an avid art collector or a first-time buyer and with our free entry\, we welcome all.

Kalmykov moved in the 1930s from Moscow to Almaty\, where he was able to paint his imaginary parallel universes with fantastical creatures\, far removed from the Socialist Realist constraints imposed by the Soviet State. Kalmykov was an important historical figure\, and whilst under recognised\, the fact of his existence itself had a tremendous impact on the development of the contemporary art scene in Central Asia. \nReserve en URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/almagul-menlibayeva-yerbossyn-meldibekov/ LOCATION:Cromwell Place\, 4 Cromwell Place\, London\, London\, SW7 2JE CATEGORIES:Arts,Conversation,Digital Arts,Events in London,Exhibitions,Family Activities,Free Events,People,Performing Arts,Sculpture,Society,Visual Arts,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Almagul-Menlibayeva-Centaur-2011-Fine-art-Inkjet-print-on-archival-paper-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cromwell Place":MAILTO:info@cromwellplace.com GEO:51.4951078;-0.174608 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Cromwell Place 4 Cromwell Place London London SW7 2JE;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=4 Cromwell Place\, London:geo:-0.174608,51.4951078 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201010T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201031T170000 DTSTAMP:20260504T085948 CREATED:20200924T231811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200925T003804Z UID:30055189-1602324000-1604163600@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Group Exhibition: Mother Art Prize 2020 DESCRIPTION:A group show featuring twenty short-listed artists of the Mother Art Prize 2020\, the only international prize for self-identifying women and non-binary visual artists with caring responsibilities.\nParticipating Artists:\nCassie Arnold \nHelen Benigson \nViolet Costello \nEmmeline de Mooij \nChristine De Vuono \nSabba Elahi \nMichelle Hartney \nMadison Hendry \nSadie Hennessy \nKatherine Lovett \nLauren Pisano \nEileen Reynolds \nLouise Richardson \nCarly Schmitt \nHolly Stevenson \nMarta Stysiak \nKim Walker \nEmma Wilson \nCoral Woodbury \nProcreate Project presents a group exhibition featuring 19 short-listed artists of the Mother Art Prize 2020\, the only international prize for self-identifying women and non-binary visual artists with caring responsibilities. \nThis platform aims to promote and support women artists who are mothers\, as well as drive the attention of the wider public to a broad-spectrum of themes that would otherwise be overlooked and devalued\, embracing the risk necessary to achieve a sea change in the perception and normalization of women’s artistic output as part of the cultural landscape. \nEstablished and curated by Procreate Project\, this prize’s edition puts together the most exciting leaders and organisations working to tackle the gender bias and intersectional issues in the art scene. \nFeaturing artists that work across a range of media\, the works were selected among 626 entries from 45 countries and judged by Niamh Coghlan (Director\, Richard Saltoun Gallery)\, Pauline Desouza (Director\, Diversity Art Forum)\, Elvira Dyangani Tse (Director\, The Showroom)\, Eva Langret (Artistic Director\, Frieze London)\, Claire Mander (Chair of Steering Committee UK Friends\, National Museum of Women in the Arts and Director\, the CoLAB) and Frances Morris (Director\, Tate Modern). \nThe winner of this year’s edition\, announced in May 2020\, is Helen Benigson. She will have an upcoming solo show in partnership with The Showroom as part of her award. Helen is followed by Violet Costello\, recipient of the Online Award\, with an online Solo Exhibition with Richard Saltoun Gallery\, and Eileen Reynold recipient of the International Award with an upcoming residency with Procreate Project and art material sponsored by Colart. \nTheir works raise questions around the representation and construction of the body\, religious identities\, sexualities and gender\, as well as reproductive technologies. \n“Procreate Project is a vitally important space that supports and champions artists who are carers\, (m)others or parents. Procreate Project understands the elastic fragility of what it means to make and show artwork\, at the same time as having competing caring responsibilities. At this very surreal and anxious time that we are all living through\, spaces like this are extremely rare and extra special\, so I am very grateful to Procreate Project and the Mother Art Prize for existing and supporting our work.” – Helen Benigson\, Mother Art Prize 2020 Winner \nThe exhibition is co-curated by Paola Lucente (director\, Procreate Project) and Claire Mander (Chair of Steering Committee UK Friends\, National Museum of Women in the Arts and Director\, the CoLAB).

The motif of the wave is\, for Melehi\, all about movement and change. It is as much about electromagnetic radiation as it is about water\, and when vertical it becomes a flame. The Moucharabieh (2020) series strips away the waves to their bare essentials – they become all-over diagonal compositions – giving emphasis to the curved line\, hyper-graphism and a clear chromatic palette.

Those who have never heard of Jan Svankmajer and know that they have come face to face with genius.\nAntony Lane\, New Yorker \nThe legendary artist\, filmmaker and surrealist\, Jan Švankmajer\, whose work has inspired artists such as Terry Gilliam and the Quay Brothers\, bid farewell to feature filmmaking in 2018 with his swan song\, Insects. While shooting the making of Insects\, directors Adam Olha\, Jan Daňhel and producer Jaromír Kallista decided to preserve Švankmajer’s unique creative process revealing the behind-the-scenes details of his artistic practice. Over three years they followed his life and work at home and abroad (including the UK premiere of Insects at the Tate Modern) creating a complex portrait\, a collage\, in which serious discussions about his artistic principles are interlaced with footage of him at work and at home including everyday and comic moments such as crashing his four-wheeler\, posing awkwardly with fans or getting irritated by organisers at an art exhibition. Talking with disarming honesty\, Jan Švankmajer\, an extremely private man\, opens up and speaks of his dreams\, meditations\, and his wife and muse Eva Švankmajerová\, revealing the difficult times after her death.\nPremiered at the 2020 Rotterdam International Film Festival. \n——– \nThe film will be available to rent (UK only) for £4.99 from 10:00 on Fri 27 Nov GMT till 10:00 on Mon 30 Nov 2020 GMT on Czech Centre Vimeo on Demand via THIS LINK.\nPRE-ORDER NOW \n*** UK PREMIERE ***\nBONUS: Q&A WITH DIRECTORS ADAM OL’HA \n——–\nPart of Made in Prague 2020 ON/OFF URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/athanor-the-alchemical-furnace/ LOCATION:Czech Centre London\, 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, Kensington\, W8 4QY\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Arts,Crafts,Design,Festivals,Films,Sculpture,Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Svankmajer.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Czech Centre London":MAILTO:info@czechcentre.org.uk GEO:51.509387;-0.193483 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Czech Centre London 30 Kensington Palace Gardens London Kensington W8 4QY United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=30 Kensington Palace Gardens:geo:-0.193483,51.509387 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201225T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210227T180000 DTSTAMP:20260504T085948 CREATED:20201030T101812Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201212T050026Z UID:30056224-1608894000-1614448800@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Gathering by Nengi Omuku – Art Exhibition in London DESCRIPTION:Gathering by Nengi Omuku – Art Exhibition in London\n\n\n\nA group of people sit with their backs to the viewer while in the distance a crowd of spectral figures form a wall of bodies that blends into the beige background. This haunting\, textural painting\, The Sit Down by Nengi Omuku\, depicts a non-violent protest\, which was originally inspired by three separate instances of injustice in the artist’s home country of Nigeria\, but the work gains new significance in the light of the tragic events currently unfolding in Lagos as peaceful protesters continue to be met with brutality. Omuku’s latest body of work marks a shift in the artist’s focus from the individual to the collective body and communal existence. Painted onto panels of a traditional Nigerian fabric known as Sanyan\, the artworks negotiate the complexities of identity and belonging in relation to gender\, race and cultural heritage. The artist’s solo show entitled Gathering at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery’s London Bridge space brings together a collection of highly atmospheric and emotive scenes filled with urgency and longing. \n\n\n\nThe majority of Omuku’s latest artworks were inspired by local events in Lagos and the corresponding imagery circulated by the press. The powerful imagery of The Sit Down\, for example\, came in response to scenes of mass unemployment that ensued following the government ban on motorcycles and tricycles (the local form of public transport); the devastating collapse of a school building near the artist’s studio that buried young children and for which no-one was held accountable; and the billions of Naira (Nigerian currency) that were allegedly dispensed by the government during the pandemic\, but which never made it to the people who needed it most. However\, the charged\, traumatic and affecting scenes that comprise this body of work appear now as the uncanny foreshadowings of the current protests against a corrupt branch of the Nigerian police force known as SARS\, which was established in 1992 to combat armed robbery but instead became the perpetrator of widespread illegal activities. Most recently\, the group captured and killed a Nigerian civilian leading to a series of high-profile peaceful protests in the central commercial district of Lagos. On Tuesday 20th October\, a member of the government instructed the electricity at a major protest site to be turned off and announced a state wide curfew\, but many of the protesters remained in solidarity to their cause. News footage shows these people sitting peacefully\, waving the Nigerian flag and singing the national anthem. The Nigerian military were called in and opened fire at the site\, injuring and killing civilians. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition’s title piece Gathering echoes the scenes of real people carrying and mourning the bodies of those that they have lost whilst also drawing our attention to the multiple connotations of the word itself\, the different ways in which we come together as well as the potential power and danger. Though a few portraits are included in the exhibition\, the majority of the artworks specifically depict the act of ‘gathering’ or coming together as a collective\, but nevertheless\, a strong sense of absence pervades. Indeed\, many of the paintings were created in lockdown\, a period in which the artist was largely cut off from human interaction. As with all of her compositions\, she built her scenes from a digital collage of her source imagery\, specifically looking for photographs of groups of people in Nigeria and exploring new ways of coming together during the pandemic. Though the idea of a collective is suggestive of unity\, strength and belonging\, Omuku’s moody skies and faceless figures also imbue the works with a sense of fragility and transience. In one of the most striking paintings entitled Technicolour Protest\, for example\, a man stands at the forefront\, his arm raised and fist clenched in a moment of desperation\, paint pouring from his limbs\, whilst once again\, the crowd stands passively watching the action unfold. This tension between movement and stillness\, sound and silence\, unity and disparity creates an extraordinary atmosphere of unease that permeates this whole body of work. \n\n\n\nAdding another layer of physicality to the artworks\, Omuku paints on a Nigerian fabric known as Sanyan. Traditionally\, Sanyan was made from wild silk\, obtained from the cocoons of moths and spun into a thick\, rough fibre before being woven together to make fabric for traditional attire. Sanyan was typically worn by wealthy individuals in precolonial western Nigeria\, and often owners would sign the fabric as its ownership was a symbol of prestige. Although production of this silk cloth has fallen into decline\, the fabric is still woven in certain circles using industrial cotton as a substitute. Omuku sources her material from vintage markets in an attempt to reclaim the historical significance of the cloth as well as a lost sense of pride in craftsmanship. To create her canvases\, she stitches several strips together\, resulting in a unique\, textured surface dotted with tiny holes and imbued with a strong sense of place that relates specifically to cultural heritage and identity\, which are key themes in her practice. The painting entitled Remorse\, Stolen Knickers\, for example\, reflects on a Nigerian tradition in which the older women in a community would protest naked on the streets at times of extreme chaos or disaster. In the foreground of the artwork the two men are drawn from a real life newspaper photograph of police detaining men who had stolen women’s underwear\, but the artist has deliberately replaced the police presence with women who are peacefully seeking their own justice by using the powerful symbolism of their bodies. \n\n\n\nThis also links to Omuku’s perception of the body ‘as a site or an event centre’ that is constantly changing in response to individual and collective experiences. ‘I’ve always thought about different ways to talk about the body as multilayered as opposed to the singularity of what you see. I think about how you paint a mental space in response to what is happening within and around the body\,’ explained the artist. As a result\, Omuku deliberately obscures the faces of her figures to avoid singularity\, instead seeking to create a sense of relatability that appeals to our shared physicality and more specifically in these most recent works\, to the body of the collective. In earlier paintings\, the artist employed colour as a way of further abstracting her figurative forms\, suggesting a more fluid and fluctuating relationship between the body\, emotion and space. Whilst this sense of fluidity remains visible in the swirling movement of the brush strokes across her figures’ limbs\, these latest works move away from neutralised emotional spaces to politicised bodies and scenes that are culturally and socially specific. The new\, darker tones of her figures and backgrounds first developed in response to the natural\, rich brown colour of Sanyan\, were also influenced by the photographs of Lagos which showed black bodies in her local environment. However\, the works also resonate on a global level\, bringing issues of race and brutality more explicitly to the forefront. \n\n\n\nGathering is at once a powerful expression of the troubling present moment and a poignant longing for a time when we will gather not in sadness or distress\, but in happiness and celebration; a time when we are able to communicate not through violence\, but peacefully\, through our innate\, shared humanity.

It invites the audience into a multi-sensory labyrinthine of interconnected worlds to unravel a story which weaves together diverse insights into our relationship with the biosphere. \nStarting with the fundamental idea that we need to shift away from a narrative of human dominion and independence in order to protect the biosphere\, installations explore: the necessity of living soil; the perpetual migration of species; the cascading threat of impending extinctions; ways to reconnect with nature; conflict arising from depleted resources; the future of cities and how humans will live within them. From the perspectives of insects and animals\, through the eyes of scientists\, artificial intelligence\, plant life\, ancient cultures and conflicting contemporary viewpoints; Terra Nexus is a wormhole of ideas. \nWarping sensory experiences\, excavating\, weaving between co-existing timelines and suggesting alternative histories; this is the first of a series of immersive projects by Proposition Studios asking the viewer to raise their own questions about THE HUMAN AS PART OF ECOLOGY and what that means today and for future generations. \nIn preparation for this project the exhibiting artists took part in an intensive research residency\, visiting sites where human intervention has dramatically increased biodiversity while providing for human needs: Martin Crawford’s Forest Garden in Devon\, Knepp Rewilding in Sussex and Prof. Wolfe’s Wakelyns Agroforestry in Suffolk while also meeting the renowned science writer and trailblazing food campaigner Colin Tudge in Oxford. \nThese world experts who are working to regenerate landscapes and address global food problems have inspired artworks that respond to their cutting edge science\, ecological agriculture\, environmental activism and deeply researched and practical ideas.

These are the artists ‘scrolls’ that document the untold stories of Igbo culture and modern Nigeria in resistance to one-sided media narratives that are wilfully manipulated by authority figures. Chukuma’s latest exhibition Eclipse of the Scrolls at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery’s London Bridge space questions the extent to which we are controlled by the information that we are or aren’t consuming. At a turbulent time in not only Nigerian history but also internationally\, the artist’s dynamic sculptural surfaces underline the vital importance of free\, creative expression as a form of resistance to everyday indoctrination. \nThis latest body of work brings together a number of Chukwuma’s concerns in relation to how media shapes our knowledge of not only history\, but the present moment. Whilst the manipulation of media by dominating powers is not a new issue\, recent national and global crises have provided fresh opportunities to direct public opinion. ‘If you watch the news in Nigeria\, you only see footage of people dying of coronavirus in America or the UK\, but why are Nigerians not dying? Can we say that we have immunity or the cure?’ says the artist. ‘It’s not about cutting off information\, it’s about masking the truth.’ In a sub-series of smaller-scale works entitled Untold Stories\, Chukwuma reimagines the covers of tabloid newspapers with symbols and headlines stitched onto the background whilst haunting black figures hang down from the centre\, their facial features assembled from mechanical cogs\, wheels and padlocks. This collage style is characteristic of the artist’s work\, but the hybrid figures – half-man\, half-machine – are especially powerful here as a reflection on how the information we are fed or denied impacts our cultural identities and wider sense of self. \nFor many years\, Chukwuma’s practice has been deeply informed and inspired by the Uli art traditions of the Igbo people from southeastern Nigeria. However\, through his research\, the artist has discovered that Igbo culture has not been sufficiently documented\, and as such\, knowledge of their heritage is at risk of disappearing from contemporary consciousness. ‘A lack of data is a big problem in Africa\,’ he says. ‘I am creating works that I hope can become a form of documentation.’ The Uli patterns and symbols were traditionally painted directly onto the skin or as murals on the walls of a house\, which faded in the sunshine or washed away with the rain\, but in Chukwuma’s artworks they are made permanent through various artistic processes and embedded within a multitude of references. \nThe artist incorporates materials that are sourced locally in Lagos and are typically regarded as everyday detritus\, such as bottle corks and recycled soft drinks and beer cans. These are flattered and nailed onto the wooden panels\, adding a new tactile dimension and contributing to the distinct colour palette as well as relating to contemporary discourse around waste and the environment. His aesthetic and colour palette\, however\, are influenced by his encounters with and studies of international art history such as Gustav Klimt’s gold detailing\, Van Gogh’s complex use of colour and Picasso’s stylistic diversity. All of these experiences and observations manifest artistically as highly-textured surfaces and complex visual narratives that not only transcend time and geographical boundaries\, but also materiality. \nThe incorporation of multiple voices and narratives is essential to Chukwuma’s artistic intentions\, and also serves as a form of resistance to what he calls ‘the colonial implications of text’ and the prescribed role of the artist in Africa. ‘African societies thrived on oral traditions handed down from generation to generation\, and these traditions\, often sacrosanct as they were\, could not withstand the cultural disruptions that were to be her colonial experience\,’ he explains. ‘There are social implications to this impasse; one is the habitual place of the African creative in the global scheme of things. There is an unwritten place to which he seems to have been confined\, and hardly permitted to operate beyond its stations. Often this social stratification is non-constitutional and does not have the backing of legal tenets in the actual sense\, but rather works as a psychological cul-de-sac\, a route with a finite and close ended destination\, never to be surmounted.’ \nIn an attempt to break free from such constraints\, Chukuma embraces his ‘primordial instinct’ by working directly onto the wooden panels without making any preliminary sketches. ‘When it comes to my work\, I tend to be open minded and very fluid\,’ he says. ‘Perhaps my affinity with the Uli symbolism is with its fluidity and tactical use of space.’ This creative urgency and dynamism is perhaps most strongly felt in the heavily etched surface of the artwork entitled EFURU’S COMB. On a first glance\, the writhing tangle of lines and colours is almost overwhelming\, but gradually\, the symbolism and imagery begins to reveal itself\, offering a multitude of narrative possibilities that actively invite creative engagement and cultural exchange. \nMelding together a bold mix of colours\, artistic techniques\, historic references\, narratives and imagery\, each artwork possesses an astounding sense of vitality and depth that celebrates creative expression and experimentation whilst also drawing our attention to how storytelling has been\, and still is used as a tool of indoctrination. In this way\, Eclipse of the Scrolls reminds us of how essential art is in challenging the status quo by making the untold stories of individuals\, communities and nations visible to global audiences.

Oyluçtarhan’s paintings brim with an amalgamation of forms and patterns that can be found only within the artist’s vision. \nOyluçtarhan’s work embodies a narrative in which imagination challenges objective values. People\, animals\, places and metamorphosed forms are hidden amongst colours and textures; at any one time these figures can inhabit earth\, sea or space – concurrently\, at times. His research is concerned with the way in which abstract patterns can coexist within concrete forms – thus posing the question: can objective values find a place within an imaginative reality? \nThe visuality of Oyluçtarhan’s paintings is reminiscent of Picasso’s work on the complexity of forms. The works in the exhibition that adopt a monochrome palette suggest a reference to the Cubists’ experiments with depth perception\, and working with the technique of grisaille. The series of works that make use of grisaille are distinguishable by their sole use of black and white. However\, in contrast to this minimal palette\, the rich figurative components of these works make use of distinctive textures and brushstrokes. The striped backgrounds found in the monochrome series are not only suggestive of flags and clothing patterns\, but allow the figures in the foreground to appear more voluminous. \nOyluçtarhan’s works in colour are awash with expressivity\, further emphasized by the undulating shades and tones\, from deep blues to glowing neon. According to Oyluçtarhan\, colour is a very effective tool with which to invoke emotion. The entanglement of bodies leads the viewer to consider the emotional compound of the paintings. Looking closely at the interlacement of the figures\, one encounters natural elements and metamorphosed forms such as flowers\, and the tails and horns of animals. \nThe combination of vivid neon colors\, disfigured human body parts and distorted facial expressions encourages the viewer to unravel the tangle of Oyluçtarhan’s fantasy world. These figures create their own movement across the composition; they exist within their own imaginative reality. \n”I see colour as a gateway to my world\, which I project onto the canvas. Then comes the tissues; then the forms I hide between the tissues. Once this is coupled with the imagination of the viewer\, the story begins. It makes sense to me that the viewer is involved in my paintings by looking at them with their own cultural background and unique imagination. \nI think every colour speaks to a different emotion. Considering the varying hues that inhabit my work\, we find ourselves adventuring through an unlimited narrative. In my paintings\, I add colours\, forms and textures. I’m creating deformations\, metamorphoses; I think it’s all a combination of riches. It is an example of how differences can coexist – it’s the harmony of multiple voices. \nArt is an adventure. Sometimes it’s full of surprises. In each of my paintings\, the viewer embarks on an endless journey. Every time you look at my work\, you see a different form\, a different shape. With my paintings\, I invite you to step away from the reality of the world and embark on a journey into the world of dreams”.\n– Levent Oyluçtarhan \nLevent Oyluçtarhan is a Turkish artist\, born in 1978.
