Erman Özbaşaran

In his works Erman Özbaşaran depicts, as parts of his miniatures, objects whose stains and lines are done away with, objects which are perhaps dilapidated, and demolished historic buildings and their architectural details that are about to vanish, all of these appearing as indistinct objects and shapes. Özbaşaran creates textures that are destined to “perish” as the backgrounds of his works which give the impression of a plan. This also leads to
deformation. Lead color becomes more dominant as it makes its way patiently into the layers. We come across minuscule dots, drops and stains, all of which are meant to disturb the harmony of the elements making up the works. The photos artist took and manipulated himself include cityscape details. Cityscapes, city life, gentrification projects, ceaseless destruction and construction projects are themes that can be seen and sensed in the photos.
