Somatic [painting series*2021/2022]
These paintings are not actual paintings. These paintings are made by smearing the paint on the surface of the canvas, with unrestrained body movements. Creating a painting without doing a painting creates its own dichotomy and is meant to form a sensuous and corporeal feeling. In the current world situation, we are constantly trying to form our relations through rectangles and the artist doesn’t want to give another rectangle to the viewer:
Please do not hesitate to touch the surface, as you are touching a body, an object in your home. Domesticize the painting and annihilate its sacredness.
