EVRIM ERDOGAN
Describing her work as her “living style on canvas”, free-spirited Evrim believes that being completely open to discovery is the key to engaging art. With no formal training, the Turkish oil painter instead relies on her impulses and the freedom that art provides for her abstract expressionist creations. The juxtaposition of black and white symbolises conflict and the polarisation of being and nothingness. Evrim relishes the power to cast the universe she has fashioned into chaos or towards the white. Her interest in spiritual existence stems from the Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky, who believed in the force and psychic impact of colour. Evrim says: “To me, painting is the motion that gives meaning to my life. It is what draws, colours, reshapes and develops me. Trusting in the flow of my soul and expressing a piece of life itself is the method for me. It’s the tangible hologram of my subconscious.”
