About The Artwork

The painting responds to a particular time and place, a view across the village like hills of Tarabya, Istanbul taking in the Bosphorus strait and its harbours and waterways. It is essentially a joyous response to my new home, and expresses delight in its vernacular architecture, with its chaotic form and colour folded into a landscape of the emerging spring in the colours and textures of the surrounding forest. And yet in its puzzle like form and abstraction it offers the viewer the possibility to connect to their own similar places of emotional significance. It is an extremely layered painting, taking in a sense of history and evolving culture that pervades the area of Terapia. There is a sense of both the mythical and the contemporary in the patina of the painted oil and the found colour reminiscent both of ancient ruins and scraped colourful walls. The painting is also a layered record of my own places of home, and the brightly coloured walls of Woodstock Cape Town where I lived before Istanbul.

Throughout her career, Diana Page has exhibited her work extensively and has participated in significant events and collaborations. A proud moment was her involvement in a collaborative community project, designing carpets for the Judges' Chambers of South Africa's New Constitutional Court. In 2008 she directed the second in a trilogy of citybased rooftop performances titled "Pitch Blue" in Brooklyn, NYC Diana's work has been showcased in various prestigious venues. The recent touring exhibition 'Walking on a Rim of Light' brought together her artistic trajectory, spanning South Africa and Turkey, interweaving the different strands of her art practice, including drawing, performance, and painting. Notably, the tour featured a museum show at Oliewenhuis in Bloemfontein. Another noteworthy exhibition, 'Trans-Idyllic,' curated by Lewis Johnson in Istanbul, drew connections between Diana's work and post-modern painters such as Sigmar Polke. Furthermore, 'Akıs Flow,' curated by Jochen Proehl at BAUART, presented the flow of Diana's work through a captivating digital presentation of her numerous sketchbooks alongside her paintings. These accomplishments and exhibitions have solidified Diana Page's reputation as an artist who continually explores new artistic territories, diverse creative mediums, and inspires others through her evocative works.
