“I am an artist of cheerfulness and beauty – I can’t paint screaming pictures.” An inviting gesture by the petite painter Gönül Sen accompanies the view of her colorful, high-contrast pictures.
From Sunday, the graduate of the Düsseldorf Art Academy, born in Turkey in 1949, is exhibiting her latest works at Galerie Gerda Türke, Johannesstraße 8a.
On show are mainly paintings from the past two years. “Form and color are more important to me than content. I don’t bring a message.” The painter sees her success as a Turkish woman abroad as “the best politics”.
Her favorite thing is painting large-format pictures of movement to accompany dance and music performances. Next up on May 24 at the Arkadasch Theater, Platenstraße, in Cologne.
Gönül Sen has been regularly represented at the Dortmund gallery for fifteen years. Her pictures can be viewed and purchased until April 18, Tuesdays to Saturdays from 3 to 7 p.m. The exhibition opening on Sunday at 11 a.m. will be accompanied musically by Prof. Werner Kämmerling and his wife Isabella.
