Real Objects and Painted Shadows: Doğançay uses many different expressions and ways of painting tor render walls. Some have the rugged and worn look of old walls and torn and decaying posters. Others are more graphic, with large fileds of bright, sharply-contoured colors, of fragments of large letters and numbers, sometimes from familiar logotypes, in clear, unmixed fields of color that fill the canvas: Johnson & Humphrey II (1967) and Composition: Torn Poster (1970) or From Walls 70: No. 45 (1970) and Double O (1970), which seem closer to the almost cartoon-like style of American Pop artists such as James Rosenquist and Roy Lichtenstein or even the work of a proto – Pop artist like Stuart Davis. A stipend to train at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles in 1969 inspired him to work with this more graphic and clear from of composition. The results are visible in the series Breakthrough (1972- 1977) and Ribbons (1972).

Burhan Doğançay (1929 - 2013)
Click for Artist Information"Ribbon Series"
Ribbons versus Calligrams: The individual Ribbons usualy appear as a single, more or less centered composition. The highly abstract calligraphic renderings then become an allusion of – and thus an homage to – calligrams, one of the most characteristic calligraphic genres in the Ottoman World. Their three – dimensional quality can take on a more complex or playful dimension in calligrams, through the way they are composed as an identifiable image and/or the way letters and words are intertwined to create various layers of depth and dimesions. Given the artist’s interest in the play of light and volüme, the question arises whether the artist actively looked to calligrams for inspiration . A comparison between the ottoman tughra and certain of the artist’s Ribbons shows visual parallels. For example : two, sometimes three parallel torn papers that form lines reminiscent of the tugra’s three vertical letter shafts; or two to three large curves that recall the saz- like forms found on the left side of tughra.

About Doğançay's Ribbon Series:The Attack Series see Doğançay’s transformation from observing artist to speaking artist. For Ribbon Series, he definitively leaves covered wall surfaces; he begins to work in solid colors such as gray or light blue and white or black surfaces representing light and shadow. In these deceptively regular and disciplined works, Doğançay plays with light and shadow in a convincing way; however, at the heart of these works, the artist’s observation on the walls lies although his works seem to be more refinedand abstract. “Reality is not surface anymore but what lies behind it; objects that come out of the walls occupy the space we inhabit.” “Throughout his career, he’s been interested in tactile painting level where the objects reach up the audience’s space.” In Ribbon Series, works extending ahead of the surface present the struggle of volume in a powerful and afficient way. A large number of torn paper strips that come out of jagged tear hole at the background into our space or ribbons themselves or shadows create elegant patterns evoking the calligraphy. Soft-edged tears that Doğançay’s observed on the walls are pretty important for him; they bring the image in characteristic and depth. Just like the previous series by him, Ribbons Series is also can be considered as "trompe l’oeil" collage; it resembles collage but there are optical illusions. "Trompe l’oeil" is a technique to measure the talents of real painters and the way he applies this technique is the proof of his talent. Along with the metal shadow sculptures that he did in 80’s, Aubusson, Ribbons Series provide a basis for mural carpets.

1970-74: Changeable Forms: Doğançay started to analyze those visual conclusions attained through various experiments in an “abstact” language which had no counterpart in the real world. It was then that he started to delve into abstract-changeable forms. The point not to be missed here is that Doğançay didn’t interpret walls with their intrinsic “abstact” and “real” elements as a primary motif. That is why his paintings are hard to categorize. But he has created a theme that has an antirety despite the differences brought about by the visual breaks in his series of paintings. Red and black dominate this work, and a poster, as if torn right from the center, was depicted with its torn parts and the shadows of those torn parts. The relation of the oxidized yellow to the red formed the most striking aspect of this painting, while the images that were formed by the shadows were non-existent either in nature or on walls. The “fictional shadows” in this compositions were not formed by real three-dimensional space; the feeling of depth was created through “illusion”. But the shadows, as well as the other visual elements reached beyond the canvas to be completed in the mind of viewer, thus presenting a “painting with open ends”.

Ergin İnan (1943 - )
Click for Artist Information"Long Letter"
Ergin İnan or Focusing on Detail: Visual communication is essentially a dialogue we establish with ourselves, starting from what is visible; At best, the artist gives us some clues in this direction; Thus, the definition of communication based on the principle of reciprocity has lost its validity to some extent. However, the general tendency to relate to the work of art as a means of communication resists this to the end; Because in the final analysis, every work of art is a meeting point that takes place through someone else, even if the addressee is the viewer's own self. Inan, on the other hand, is pushing this communication opportunity downhill and running into difficulties, not because the code he sees is mysterious and closed, but because it is so open - the viewer has silently fallen into the trap of obviousness. Accordingly, the free movement space we have when interpreting a deformed object is automatically narrowed in the public repetition of the same thing with a realistic representation; in interpretation; At least a special effort is required not to ignore the syntactic concern that constitutes the other half of the picture, otherwise the story has slowly taken the place of interpretation. In fact, nothing is as foreign to İnan as the desire to hide behind the password; However, this is exactly why he finds himself behind an encrypted world; At least for us, this is the case... Believe me, leaving the audience to their own devices proves the privilege of being creative. As long as a form is considered picturesque, it can well be abstracted from its realistic context, even if it clearly refers to the outside world, because contemplation has already bypassed and canceled out its meaning.

Mustafa Ata (1945 - )
Click for Artist Information"Figurative Composition"
Ata's Confrontation With Figures: Ata has tries to express the changeability of life and the dynamism of human body by synthesizing them with colors so far. In addition, he makes use of the light shadow of George La Tour, one of the colors by Matisse. What is depicted here is the questioning of life and an endless motion that has been in man’s soul between life and death. Of course the artist is confronting with the figures and the own being. Therefore, just like he says, we can observe every aspect of life in these figures. The origin of his paintings is the German expressionists emerged during the beginning of 20th century. Using every data from colors to strengthen his expression, he actually uses an old language in terms of technique. However, what he expresses has to do with today and the self-assimilation act of contemporary human.
