The Turkish artist couple Gönül Sen and Sebahattin Sen are exhibiting a small section of their complete body of work at the efa, Hohenzollernstraße 24, until June 21. After studying art in Istanbul and working as a painter and an art teacher, Gönül and Sebahattin Sen came to the Federal Republic in 1981. Gönül Sen then studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1984 to 1987, and Sebahattin Sen studied fine art in Cologne.
Both have had numerous solo and group exhibitions in various cities in Germany and Turkey to date. The pictures at the efa give an insight into the work of the two painters, especially Mrs. Sen.
“The pictures of the painter Gönül Sen live from color,” Prof. Günter H. Blecks wrote in 1987. “Behind the peculiar coloring of her pictures one senses a strong capacity for experience and a life-affirming power.”
