Lot Essay

Ebru Döşekçi’s bold, minimalistic style takes the form of elegant abstract sculptures that explore concepts of ‘wholeness’ and ‘essence’. In her three-dimensional works, editions and installations fabricated in polyester resin, ambiguous contrasts between mass, figure, form and space combine to form glossy constructions that evoke feelings of love, joy and hope.

is a new work from the artist's series in which she disrupts three-dimensional compositions with sharp two-dimensional geometry and lines. Here, a piercing red strip is drawn horizontally across the work’s circular plane. The use of highly varnished acrylic car paint causes sudden changes in the interplay of light on the work, which creates a pulsing movement between its form and reflections. With this instantaneous movement or ‘pulse’, both the painted line and the circle through which it penetrates become one intriguing sculptural form.

Ebru Döşekçi was born in 1972 in Ankara. Having participated in a number of exhibitions and art fairs in Turkey and abroad, the artist continues her practice between Istanbul and London.
