Seyyit Bozdošan in front of the easel

If Seyyit Bozdošan stands in front of the easel, a passionate desire for painting and an analytical spirit jointly seem to lead his hand.
His recent work continued concentrating the interaction between abstraction and figuration, between microkosmos and overall composition into still more conclusiv pictural units.
The earth, its surfaces, soils and depths, its wealth of light and color sound, particularly in memory of its Anatolian homeland, did not fade away, but continue to live on in richly facetted - mostly vertically oriented - structures.
His art ranges between tendencyful arranged figurations, situations and shapes described in detail, as well as variation on the one side and increasing abstraction together with forming processes getting more important on the other side.

 

A remarkable style characteristic in his pictures are the "windows" , which stand out against the background by different coloring and which usually clearly mark the intended cutout by their framing.
In numerous pictures, the object remains yet recognizable, must however be searched for due to these overlappings.That leads to a more precise checking and reading through of the pictures.
With advanced degrees of abstraction, where the picture consists of individual color segments and material textures, the figurativ context is preserved just by a differing color treatment and changed brushwork as well as minimally dropped space hints .
These exciting pictures appear like views wich are several times broken by mirrors. Thus these formally and in colour very balanced works gain a position in between dream and observations.
