Rifat Koray GȌKAN - Padenghe sul Garda, BS (Italy) / Istanbul, Turkey (Türkiye) - WOODNS




Rifat KORAY Gökan is looking at the interrelationships between man and nature. After an initial phase of immersion in a contemplative form of naturalism, it is forwarded to an evolution which gradually led him along paths abstract.
He has a long experience of teaching at the faculty of architecture at the University of Istanbul, where for many years, has taught "basic design" deepening geometric shapes applied to the models of infrastructure and design. In his works is perpetually on the border between reality and abstraction, between rationality and emotion that seeks to combine compositions with intense fascination. If the concrete element is the nature, geometric shapes make up the abstract element. The dialogue between the two aspects is the possibility to tune the harmony of nature with the balance of geometric models through the rhythms of color and composition.

Event not to be missed! Nadia Turella and Giovanna Sacchetti, two contemporary artists whose works are inspired by various themes imbued with present are on display. Arguments and questions, of a moral and current nature that although they do not want, concern us and touch us closely in this time and in our journey. Nadia, guides us and leads us with the significant and beautiful works, through antithetical worlds. Lands in which elements like, friendship and bullying, the right to childhood and violence against women and children, the discriminating color of the skin and the beauty of the colors of mother nature and its respect are contrasted. Giovanna with her enchanting works accompanies us and guides us in her enchanted world, made up of trees and figures, defined by her as "angelic" that speak of emotions, loneliness, anger and protest against all forms of violence. His figurative missive urges us to understand that we are all one and we must live in harmony with everything, respecting other beings. So the message of both enclosed in the title of the exhibition is "Beyond" as a wish ... Because there is always hope that everything will improve. F.B.W.
