EARLY WORK: Acrylic Collage
In 1999, from the artist’s studio, the entrepreneur, Sıdıka Atalay, bought a series of her acrylic collages for the entrance of the Movenpick Hotel in Maslak.
In this body of work, the artist brought together elements from her training, in Abstract Expressionism, collage, and watercolors with shapes she had observed in Ottoman Miniature paintings. These collages incorporate photocopies of photographs from family albums and textiles that will appear in her later work while also hinting at her future interest in globalization, memories, women.
