Painter Pınar Kuseyri, one of the colorful names of the art world, brought her “Breath of Nature” themed exhibition, which includes her works created with mixed techniques applied on canvas, to art lovers at SANKO Art Gallery. The exhibition, which made an important contribution to Gaziantep’s cultural and artistic life, attracted great attention from visitors.
Emphasis on the Unifying Power of Art
In his speech at the opening of the exhibition, painter Kuseyri emphasized the unifying power of art on social development. Stating that art contributes not only to the development of society but also to the spiritual healing of individuals, Kuseyri suggested that every individual should be interested in different branches of art.
“I create the works in my exhibition with the understanding that ‘less is more’,” Kuseyri said, adding that he emphasizes the effects of Far Eastern philosophy in his paintings. Emphasizing that art has no perfection and accuracy, the painter emphasized the importance of improving oneself by constantly observing nature and the place where one lives.
Abstraction of Details and Emphasis on Color
In his paintings about nature, vineyards, trees and leaves, Kuseyri highlights the details with macro-frame abstractions, presenting sensations with an emphasis on color, giving the viewer a unique experience.
