“It should be no surprise that it is the art produced in the West from this point onwards that fascinates Selma Gürbüz. She is well aware of this history of cultural borrowing, which explains much of her process of picture making. Much of this is done unconsciously, and it is only in conversation that she retrospectively links the parts. Still a lot is left open to interpretation. It seems that Gürbüz leaves the line that separates intention from intuition deliberately obscured, so that her paintings bear a strangely familiarity through an unfamiliar melding of disparate parts, a kind of fairytale mythology based on our collective cultural memories. Thus her works seem timeless, yet ephemeral; imagined yet real. Selma Gürbüz comes close to touching the paradox that is at the heart of dreams, but to describe her as a surrealist would be missing half the point.”

EDITION OF 500
76X56 CM.
Tapies created the lithograph to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona. The lithograph is one of 500 produced in a run on Paper Modigliani.
” Tapies considered his work a “meditation on the void”–the play of emptiness and fullness which composes everything and which reveals the meaning of nature. He expressed this esoteric philosophy, partly inspired by Zen Buddhism, through a multiplicity of potent, often paradoxical, objects.” – Guardian newspaper
