Pigritude (2024)

Acrylic on Canvas

90 x 60 cm

Difficult to know what to say about this painting as I don’t want to overly influence the opinion of the viewer. Particularly as everyone who has seen it has a completely different take on it.

This one sold before the paint was even dry, I posted a picture and was pleasantly surprised when someone directly stated they must have it.

A bold and dynamic exploration of colour and form. Rendered on high-quality canvas, the piece features vivid hues of blue, yellow, red, and white, with striking black lines that create a fragmented, geometric representation of a face. The use of sharp angles and layered textures evokes a Cubist aesthetic, while the energetic brushstrokes and vibrant palette add a modern, expressive flair.

The Galaxy Goblin (2022)

Acrylic on canvas

71cmx50cm

The Galaxy Goblin. My son chose the title for this painting, he insists it looks like a goblin in space, and that the paint splashes and scratches in some way resemble constellations or galaxies. I rather like the idea, although I think I would reverse it as more of an introspection of some kind of internal infinity.
Acrylic on canvas, mounted on a stretcher frame. Multiple layers of paint give the canvas quite a textured feeling. Techniques used include roller, brushwork, splash, scratch, and scrape.

Oreo Dory Fish (Weird Fishes) (2022)

Acrylic on canvas

40 x 50 cm

Acrylic outsider art painting with newspaper collage. An acrylic painting featuring three Oreo Dory fish. The background is heavily textured and has been painted with a scraper. The bottom fish is painted in acrylic directly on the background. The top two fish are painted onto paper clippings from a Turkish newspaper. The newspaper is partially viable on the body of one of the fish and shows a photograph of a simit seller and some Turkish writing. After fixing the news[paper clippings I have painted in the detail.
Oreo Dory fish are a weird and slightly scary look deep ocean fish that lives near the seabeds around Australia and New Zealand. In real life, they are a little bit more scary looking.
This painting is part of my Weird Fishes collection.

Scrambl-ed (2021)

Acrylic on canvas

91 x 61 cm

Man’s face on a white background. Acrylic on canvas mounted on a stretcher frame. This painting has quite a textured feel to it as there are multiple layers of paint that have been applied using various different methods including splashes, drips, roller application and brushwork. This was a new technique for, to start with a chaotic splash approach and then try and bring out the features using more controlled methods.

Mr Sparrow (2020)

Acrylic on canvas

90 x 60 cm

This painting is on permanent display in Museum, Eskişehir.

Outsider art portrait of a man’s face with one large spiral eye that for some reason makes me think of a sparrow (hence the name).
Colours are pretty bright, red, yellow, some kind of bluish colour and some turquoise. Background colours have been applied roughly with a scraper and the outlines of the face are made up of bold black lines.
I can’t say much as to my motivation or intention in painting this picture as I have zero recollection of painting it.
