Culture desk – Gönül Şen, who has been painting in Germany for many years, opens her first exhibition in our country at Galerie Vepa tomorrow.
After ten years as an art teacher in Turkey, Şen settled in Germany, where she attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy for four years. In Germany she has had ten solo exhibitions and taken part in fifteen group exhibitions. “In my pictures I put surface and color in the foreground and combine contour with flat values,” says Gönül Şen, and continues: “We live in the hamburger age. The artist, too, must be fast and create many works.” The exhibition runs until May 11.
The notice appeared in Cumhuriyet on April 14, 1987. Translated from Turkish for senmenzel.com.
