SETENAY GU

Synthesizing the diametrically opposite principles of “Clair Obscur” (light and shadow) with “Colorism” in a revolutionary manner; I build unique forms by pure colors with dominant brush strokes on a solid black background. I call it "Colormania".

 

Finding its roots in a mathematical base, the sharp geometrical codes of the rhythms are perfectly balanced with strikingly holistic forms. The creative process behind it is very profound and painful until I completely find the unity between the movement of colors and brush strokes in correct proportions. The bold rhythm of the contrasts is quite remarkable.

 

The passionate language of my strong colors has a vigorous philosophical depth. It is the universal call of my warrior soul declaring that the uncompromising commitment to beliefs is the only way to freedom.
