Damla Can Koç

This exhibition represents the use of a linear and plastic language in the reproduction of the bombardment of intertwined images, dropping one after the other in a manner too familiar in today’s world..

The paintings find their basis in a new visual truth. The concept of truth emanating from any effort is, in fact, but a reflection shaped through the creator’s own perspective and based only on their perceptions. This plastic exploration, as well as the perception and reality built by it, is tied to the concept of ‘Post Truth’, emphasised also by Steve Tesich, which again rises on a foundation of individual perception in our age.
