About The Artwork

Ahmet Günestekin is a Kurdish visual artist based in Istanbul, Turkey. Günestekin rose to international recognition after being signed with Marlborough Gallery in 2013. Soonafter, his “Momentum of Memory” exhibition in Venice was listed by Massimiliano Gioni- the curator of the 55th Venice Biennale- among the “Top 10 Exhibitions to See.” Günestekin’s stylized abstractions draw from oral narratives, legends and mythology from Anatolian, Mesopotamian and Greek civilizations using a variety of techniques. The use of bright colors and a solar disc motif in Love Resembles the Sun occurs throughout his oeuvre, drawing upon the geometrical patterns intrinsic to vernacular art such as in Ottoman carpets or tableware. Patched together, this construction of motifs calls upon symbolic tales about the essential questions of mankind.

Cinema for Peace is an international non-profit organization with the goal to encourage greater awareness of global social, political and humanitarian challenges of our time, and to find solutions. Since after 9/11, 2001 the non-profit organization Cinema for Peace has been aiming to influence through films the perception and resolution of global social, political and humanitarian challenges of our time. We are convinced that film plays a significant role in highlighting inequality, injustice and inhumanity, as well as offers hope and a vision for a better future. Cinema for Peace aims to bring these humanitarian issues to public attention by partnering with the international human rights community as well as influential people in media, politics, business and society, to showcase cinematic works which emphasize the human condition and values. In recent years, Cinema for Peace has supported a number of important causes with the help of artists like Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and personalities such as the Dalai Lama, Muhammad Ali, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev and the former Honorary Patron Nelson Mandela.
