ARTISSIMA 4-6 November, 2022
In Artissima 2022, Öktem Aykut presents works by Silva Bingaz, Aret Gıcır and Emel Kurhan. The gallery has been working extensively with all three artists since its founding in 2014. Gıcır works in thematic series that entail different genres of paintings, yet he is mostly known for his rather large scale abstractions with oil on canvas. Kurhan works in embroidery and incorporates a unique pop approach in her works. Bingaz’s work depends on instant images that capture intimate moments.The presentation aims to touch issues of sexuality, domesticity and privacy. The subtleties these themes involve will be drawn by the togetherness of three distinct styles of expression and use of material. The photographs by Bingaz are from her 2017 series that she has developed in Latvia. The series depict people Bingaz has briefly met in and outside Riga in highly intimate moments in their private settings. Gıcır’s latest body of work originates from his painterly interrogations on light and shadow. His experimentations let him achieve a series of abstract paintings that also relate to and illustrate dualities of gender; of body and movement; of space and the mass. Kurhan on the other hand is interested in the private moments of solitude in domestic life, where one is left alone to play games to keep himself/herself entertained and simply to pass time. Her embroideries present a peculiar contrast between the peace and the terror that domestic solitude entails.
