About The Artwork

From the seies of, Jazz with “Woody Allen” Here is Carlyle in New York City. Time ten minutes past midnight and I am sipping the last drops of my vodka. “Woody Allen” is there up on the stage, playing clarinet. Right on his left shoulder, two men are playing the same piano and their bodies dance in rhythmic motion. Once in a while they exchange a quick glance and smile together. The band’s drummer is keeping the beat tapping his foot into the rustic stage and is waiting for his turn to brag on his skills. Woody Allen’s still playing. His eyes are closed. And his black-frame glasses stand still on his characteristic New Yorker intellectual nose. He fills up his lungs another round and blows it all away into the metallic nasal cord of the clarinet. His chicks are flashy and his forehead looks pale. Music is beating profoundly and I'm there. Full of joy and aligned with tempo. I want to capture this moment and permanently illustrate it in my sketching book. If I don’t do it tonight, then I will miss it forever. Oh dear, this band is revolting tonight and “Woody Allen” is the messenger of these rebellious gangs. Where is my sketching book? I am heading to my room now. ***** This painting is one of my favorites inspired by the time when I stayed at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, 2016. At that time, I was invited by one of my New York-based collectors for his private collection opening reception. I was there because two large scale paintings of mine were part of his collection. I remember the night after the opening reception I ended up in the Carlyle Hotel’s bar where Woody Allen was performing. It was the highlight of my trip. And fortunately I created a few paintings that night which " California Condor" is one of those. For your information, this painting is on non-stretched canvas ready to be shiped in a tube.

Human body and its movements are the most intricate, sophisticated structures our eyes are exposed to. The fluidness and continuity of human movements along with the shapes the body takes during these movements, create a picture in our eyes full of smooth curves musically related to each other. This is what I try to capture in my work blending the body and its motions with music I hear and the rapture I feel in my mind . "Family Dreams" Project's statement : Today’s society is a conglomeration of children of yesterday. The children who witness the interactions and relations between their parents and other family members. The child’s memory is full of colors juxtaposing patterns shaped by the surrounding characters and deformed by their personalities. Reminiscing those memories bring tears to her eyes instead of smiles to her face. She finds her soul crushing under the pressure of pain, watching her mother’s detestable and odious treatment of her father. She sees her father desperately trying to bond the family together and to prevent its disintegration while the mother is ripping it apart with her unbearable sorrow, extreme anxieties, and hate. The mother’s shape is warped and distorted. The father is a collection of soft curves that do not belong to their rightful place and seem scattered and disoriented. The rest of the family fills gaps of the palette wherever the mother leaves them spaces to be and to breathe. And mother’s agitations force the children to swarm to any gaps they find in the palette where they can find some peace. Today, these children have grown to be adults. They see themselves as the harvest of what was sown years ago by those who touched their life. Recognizing the edicts of color and form, they try to portray on every palette, the story of a day of life, more sad than happy, long gone but still fresh in their mid and soul.
