The Bright Side
Burhan Cahit Doğançay
Description
Subject Matter:
Very early in his career, Doğançay embraced the urban wall as his main subject matter. His larger project, termed "Walls of the World," presents representations of cities through the collaged and ever-changing graffiti of the urban environment. Each with a different set of techniques and styles, he saw the textures and collages of the walls themselves as a reflection of human history and society.
Physical Description:
This painting has a series of collaged pieces with bright colors visible under an overpainting of thick black paint. The painting is signed and dated (l.l.) in yellow paint: "BDogancay / 1997".
