Turkish Figure Painting



There was limited figural painting and I most likely wouldn't write about it but Turkish Artist Yesim Akdeniz Graf paintings shown by Dirimart a gallery out of Istanbul have compelled me to share a bit of what they brought to New York this year.  She paints her self in "fantasy settings", I can't say being lashed by a pimp with to many hats (perhaps a reference to Max Ernst)in a obscure landscape sounds like a fantasy but the work above is ripe with art historical references and perhaps a bit of personal  and Turkish allegory.
