A Poetic Journey of Textures
In Iclal Erenturk Gucsav’s paintings, the massiveness and voluminous appearance highlight the sculptural attitude. She literally dances with shapes and forms. When everything changes and transforms, the perception of difference makes itself felt.
The combination of the stain attitude with color and sometimes form further strengthens the formation. The artist creates the effect of gravure printing technique in some of her designs, and the scratching effects enable the emergence of very meaningful textures in the pictorial sense. The achieved harmony creates original and free spaces and is reflected in the works in the most refined way.
In one of her articles, Artist Iclal Erenturk Gucsav defines her works as follows: “Reshaping by transforming forms and forms, and their integration with colors and color fields, excites me every time. The different effects of new effects require me to re-experience visuality.
This is renewal itself. I love exploring in my pictorial journey.”
The Voyage exhibition talks about exactly this artistic journey. The artist’s works from different periods, her different emotions and excitements came together with a selection composition and set out on a journey. While some of them previously met with audiences in different parts of the world, they are now meeting with art lovers in London. The exhibition invites everyone who encounters the works to a pleasant journey through the depth of the forms and the emotions created by the works.
