Altay Basaran

Altay Basaran tends to create art in impassioned moments of disdain and egomania such that abstraction is often a theme that permeates his artwork.

Altay Basaran's early influences include the works by Jackson Pollack, Elinor Brass, Wassily Kandinsky and Bernd Becher, whose styles he has combined to create unique interpretations of cityscapes.

Altay Basaran's more recent influences include the works by Aboudia Abdoulaye Diarrassouba and other African art which is rich in colour. This influence can be seen in Altay Basaran's later artwork which is often very vibrant but retains the abstract and photographic element from before.
