The initiative of the Turkish teachers’ association, in cooperation with the Cultural Office, to exhibit pictures by the painter Gönül Sen in the Spanish Building of Cologne City Hall is undoubtedly welcome. The garishly colored oil paintings show street and subway scenes full of people, as well as figure studies. But composition and drawing reach only fairly mediocre quality. (Exhibition until January 31.)
The short review appeared in early January 1988 in a Cologne daily newspaper; the newspaper’s name is not given on the clipping.
