Tumay Gunaydin’s
paintings have been developed from a series of portraits. Dark, eroded, and
brooding while carrying the potential of hope, the characters in the
paintings emerge from a certain past to look at the viewer through the mists
of time. The mysterious figures question individuals and the world that they
currently live in before receding back into a timeless haze. Through the
questioning glances of her characters, Günaydýn compels the viewers to be
more reflective and aware. With the layers of ink and the use of other
media, the images gain more depth and evoke the idea of a past that is
hidden behind various textures. The compositions allow for moments of light
to breathe through, and a subtle calmness to reach out. Special thanks to Mr. Andrew Hamilton, Cengiz Yakut and Zishan Uðurlu of The Marmara Manhattan. This program is part of Moon and Stars Project’s Community Grants program. |
