Ekrem Yalcindag
Dirimart, Istanbul
Impressions from the Streets. The name of the exhibition emphasizes the artist's interest in impressionism. Rhythm and the liveliness of the colours by Robert Delaunay and the effective perception of the colour sequence by George Seurat have been the major sources of the art of Yalcindag.
After a break of four years Ekrem Yalcindag (1964), who has come up with his large sized
wall paintings at Museum Schloss Morsbroich, Leverkusen and Istanbul Museum of
Modern Art, can be viewed in Istanbul, with his second personal exhibition in Dirimart;
“Impressions from the Streets”.
The name of the exhibition emphasizes the artist’s interest in impressionism. Rhythm and
the liveliness of the colours by Robert Delaunay and the effective perception of the colour
sequence by George Seurat have been the major sources of the art of Yalcindag.
The exhibition is composed of seven works with rounded forms in diameter of two meters.
The union between the form of canvas and patterns on the surface has significant
importance for the artist. Besides “watching everyday life as colours” brings a pop
character into the paintings, usage of contrasts such as light and dark, warm and cold
generates an optic effect.
These rounded formed paintings that Yalcindag has worked on at particular intervals since
1997 are displayed together in an exhibition for the first time.
