Erman Özbaşaran’s fourth solo exhibition, Ground, reveals the traces we leave on the geography we inhabit, along with architectural details and elements of landscape, through layers of painting dominated by color, minimal interventions, and restrained geometry. The exhibition will be on view at Galeri Bosfor from September 10 to October 10.
In painting, the “ground” is the first layer upon which paint is applied. The image does not yet exist; there is only the surface on which it will eventually take shape. Erman Özbaşaran’s new exhibition reconsiders this technical term not merely as the physical ground of painting, but as a way of thinking through painting itself.
