Zekai Ormancı - "Red Ball"
Visual Misconceptions: This tendency to establish the symbol in its concrete form declines in the years to follow, in the shape of mould-images of the objects symbols, abstracked from the location. The observations treated and reflected have then each been turn into a metaphysical object of illusion through patches of objects added to the nature. These objects of illusion, which have undergone a conscious “selection” process and alienated within themselves, gain an entity of composition with a meaning hidden inside. Indicative of the fact that the planning and application are handled in separate stages, this approach is a “must of the technique” according to the artist. This effort realised through considering painting beyond its conveying function, in other words exceeding its goal to describe, is linked with the aim to produce paintings that refer to nothing else but those that exists in the nature through distancing oneself from objects and from the descriptions they represent, and via emphasising “plastic values” and “the technique”.
