Onur Gülfidan explores the relationships between color, tone, harmony, and dissonance with his figurative paintings.
Specific “moments” in time are filtered and distilled into a more concentrated form. The resulting images are simplified yet powerful compositions that belie their illustrative quality.
The painting "-2" depicts a pair of figures surveying their landscape after a horrific train derailment. Their calm countenances contrast with the chaos around them. "5" incorporates a fantasy world of flowing hair and lyrically bent tree branches. While the moments Gulfidan documents may at first seem childish and innocent, in truth they point to real world cruelty and injustice.
Onur Gülfidan was born in 1974 and is a graduate of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul. He holds an MFA in painting and graphic design from the same university.
