ARTIST STATEMENT
The common features of the artworks, regardless of what material is used, achieving images evoking some specific objects composed of irrational lines and scribbles through the way of using material.
While creating subjective images on paper and canvas works with various materials and marker pens through texture differences and sometimes layers, in works with aluminium wire, these images come in three-dimensional forms. As becoming expression of obscure and imaginary views committing to the memory, collected images emerge as scribbles. This feature makes works as pieces of a whole.
Contrasting forms, intertwined and complexity creating contrasts, forms causing disorders and blurred scenes are questioning the traces of the objects in our memories and subconscious. The combination of nature and artificial world’s interaction with human beings, create an expression of imaginary and sometimes illusionistic abstractions. When all come together as different scenes, they become representations of a dream world. The attractive feature of these images is that the viewers find themselves dreaming of writing their own stories.
On my doctorate thesis I work currently and named as ‘The Philosophy of Abstraction and Current Art”, my starting point is Wilhelm Worringer’s thesis conceptualized in “Abstraction and Enfuehling (Empathy)” book. I am questioning the connection of this concept of abstraction in terms of sociological, psychological and philosophical contexts to its current meaning and existence. The concept of abstraction is a timeless tendency, not likely to be restricted with eras. I can explain my works which are on paper with Worringer’s following expressions:
Every single line or object, is likely to be perceived as it is. However, the viewer is who gives the freedom to that lineor object. Allowing the viewer freedom is a crucial point. Subjects representing viewers are split into two. The first group looks for empathy and has impulse to give chance for coincidence. The second group does not suffer from what they have viewed and consumed.
