| 关于此艺术家 |
Gulay Alpay’s work displays delicacy and fragility, revealing a deep respect for something fundamental, some primal, indigenous sense of shape and color, yet she creates with bursts of contemporary idioms. Her paintings are playful, spirited, freeform and deceptively complex. There’s not a single corner, hard edged, geometric line to be found in her composition, instead the shapes are as fluid as the submerged sounds that fuel her imagination.
There are connections to Sigmar Polk, Arshile Gorky, Kandinsky, Pollock, De Kooning, and less obvious, Josef Beuys.
Alpay’s oeuvre is organic, her shapes biomorphic. In her latest series, she’s inspired to save the whales, but the images are part of the abstract motifs with occasional words and phrases that are distractions from an otherwise controlled, well-articulated, passionate technique. It has been ten years since Alpay was initially inspired by the songs of whales, and her work has become freer and more experimental since this point.
The fact that almost all of her work is on silk is itself a trademark, a signature. Some of the work is unframed, hung like a banner suggesting freedom of material and color; the form does not confine them. On the other hand, when the works are framed, she places a layer of foam behind them that stretches the silk into deeper curves, extending the shape and colors. This method gives it a playful, satirical, even Pop-arty, dimension. Like taking a piece of exotic tapestry or embroidered pillow case fabric and framing it to the wall, Alpay plays with the boundaries between craft and fine art. It is humorous and ironic, and in the end you take notice: you are surprised by its beauty and grace. (Abraham Lubelski)

Pink Silk Simone Cappa- NY Arts Magazine May-June 2007
Sometimes all it takes to make an already professional art world event even more serious is a big pink tent adorned with amateur art and condoms. The concept behind Gulay Alpay’s not so silk, Silk Room construction of wood, pink paint, condoms and plenty of brushes and paint palettes for the general public to take up for themselves was less so high art than high purpose. Alpay created this interactive structure with the goal of making a statement about the female and her body.
Here, the artist invited visitors of all ages to express themselves on walls painted in the stereotypically feminine color of pink and splattered with rainbow-colored condoms in an attempt to incite a call to arms against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in cultures and societies whose economies are at that of the Western world’s poverty level and below. The interactive installation thus provided a theme for the potential creativity at hand and got the visitors to this Turkish contemporary art fair thinking about birth and disease control in a way that was, literally, productive.
Although, by the end of the fair, the majority of the structure’s extensive coverings played off of Alpay’s original abstract swirls, blotches and complex lines of strong paint colors which are so characteristic of the artist’s larger oeuvre, the participants added much in the way of statements and expressions in their native tongues as well as in each of their individual brush strokes, but they also contributed by way of the very footprints left behind on the floor of Alpay’s structure. These were hundreds of artists/art participants with a purpose, and both their brush strokes and their presence left visible traces on the surface of Alpay’s installation. Thanks to Alpay, these remnants now serve as testament to the fight for sex education.

Evolving Environments
Abraham Lubelski on Gulay Alpay 3D Project Room Installation.
Using fluorescent paint and fabric to explore
color, luminosity, movement and sculptural space, Turkish artist Gulay Alpay
captures the energy of the life—from the people she meets to the places she travels. With raw energy and provocation Alpay’s work explores painting’s potential. Her installations, paintings and interactive environments occupy a domain between a romantic and a conceptual art form in which a deep, psychological experience is formed. In her works broad brushstrokes and graffiti-esque lines, in acidic and delicate
colors, dash across an epic surface inviting
the viewer inside.
Alpay’s 3D Project Room Installation is a world within a world. Each of these “worlds” are created with a variety of mediums.
Alpay has developed a reputation for epic poetic works that display both delicacy and fragility, revealing a deep respect
for something fundamental, primal, and indigenous.
Alpay began the invocative piece in Istanbul, completing the creative process in front of a live audience at the gallery space in NY. Turkish designer Emre Erturk collaborated with Alpay on the opening night during the performance. The performance/
live installation re-creates the artist’s
studio within a gallery context, allowing
both the artist and the viewer to exist inside, and outside the picture—therefore becoming apart of the artist’s state of creation.
In this sense her action is both political
and aesthetic–and in its action, aims to transform existing language and its effects.
Alpay continues to explore the idea of transforming yourself and your environment through ritual and the creative act. To her, each artistic act—from layering paint on the silk and her own body to building an environment of paintings and drawings—are all opportunities
for purification, love and rebirth. At her core she is still investigating the alternative semantics of the artistic body–those suppressed by layers of Western rationalism. Presenting
this scenario as a premeditated action in a clinically white and a typically cold space, she challenges both what is acceptable in an art venue, as well as the boundaries of art. In this way the exhibition and performance questions her position as subject/object and the possibility
of transcending this. 3D Project Room Installation offers us as viewers the opportunity to investigate relations—throwing performance art back into a pool of nebulous ideas and issues. More specifically, the categorization of the work, which fluctuates from performance to living sculpture and live installation, to looped video art-like action.
Demanding that viewers leave at the door notions of what painting should be, Alpay allows them the freedom to let feelings be their guide. Her paintings and sketches, straddle the line between representation and abstraction. The artist’s strength lies within this fluid movement between genres and categories. Caught between description and dreamlike states, and the observed and the imagined, Alpay’s work transforms the natural world into poetic
visions and fantasy, while still utilizing symbolic elements to convey psychological ideas and emphasize the “freedom” of art from traditional
culture.
While preserving
both Expressionist influences,
Alpay’s paintings offer a new and unique contribution to the art and culture
of their times. Her method is contemplative, meditative, and indulgent. The paradoxes in Alpay’s work lie in the blurring of boundaries between interior and exterior, self and others, the physical and spiritual. This is a mysterious form of creation, in which art seems to return to its ancestral shamanic role. Reminiscent of a dream voyage to another place, Alpay’s works are deeply personal, evoking her own subconsciousness, while revealing universal
truths about the journey and celebration of life. |
