Solo Show, 1–23 April 2014

Self-portrait with a Gorilla by Nazım Ünal Yılmaz

Daub un déjeuner sur l’herbe, a picnic in the woods with St. Jerome and a friend, paint yourself skinny and naked outdoors, kneel on a Greek blanket, look up, the skull is gone, reach toward a soft cerebellum whose glow warms your hand, face and shoulders, casting orange smudge on the black-painted fur of the red-lipped gorilla kneeling behind you, gripping your hips with monster-gloved hands and vigorous strokes.

Oil on canvas, 160 x 140 cm, 2007
