Ebru Uygun

The Museum Haus Konstruktiv is dedicating a focused solo presentation at the group exhibition HOT SPOT ISTANBUL, as well as this publication to Ebru Uygun. Over the past ten years or so Ebru Uygun has developed a complex way of handling the medium of painting, which constitutes a link between the act of painting on canvas, a deconstruction thereof, and a subsequent synthesis: Uygun tears several previously painted canvases into strips, a process which is physically quite strenuous, and collages these strips in a new sequence on another canvas. In turn, this canvas is mounted very traditionally on a stretcher frame. The process of fragmentation and synthesis gives rise to abstract constellations, the components of which hint at a possible, former whole, which nevertheless remains intangible. 0Exhibition: Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zürich, Switzerland (6.6.-22.9.2013).
