AFRICA: DOOM SERIES
Balkan Naci Islimyeli
In his recent works, Balkan Naci Islimyeli reveals the dark side of humanity based on signs that are drawn on human faces or that are sealed inside those faces by social pressures, and further depicts ‘a map of faces’. Balkan Naci invites us to wander over this map by stepping on different points, unveiled in the destiny and also the resistance of these human faces...
Intertwining the concepts of inscription and destiny, which was the artist’s focus during the ‘possessors’,’night faces’ and ‘likeness’ periods, this new series opens a window to deep visual interpretation, and to a new realization of the artist’s perception of the portrait itself.
