Turksik Cubist painter, Erkut Terliksiz, is set to open Isola, a new series of paintings in the Italian capital of Rome at Dorothy Circus Gallery.
This collection of eight works embodies both Erkut's innovative approach and the material research of his technique, which blends the concept of error with that of development. As he himself explains, his work begins with a blot, and for Erkut, the first rule of painting is that there are no rules. The origin of the painting is experimental, but it is the viewer's interpretation that completes its mission and infuses it with meaning. Leveraging the right side of the brain and drawing on the seeds left by Picasso and George Condo, Erkut expresses himself with a whimsical exploration of absurd scenarios, rich with surreal figures rendered in thick and bold brushstrokes that, grouped in the center of each composition, create a dynamic focal point.
