Gülhan Çırağ’s Watercolor Exhibition Meets Art Lovers
Gülhan Çırağ’s exhibition consisting of works prepared with watercolor technique opened its doors at the Ankara TESK Art Gallery on October 14, 2024. With this exhibition, Çırağ shares a journey about the difficulties and magic of watercolor with art lovers. The artist’s meticulously prepared works aim to offer visitors a unique artistic experience with the transparency of colors and the dance of water.
“Everything Should Be Under Control”
Originally from Bursa and born in Istanbul, Gülhan Çırağ developed herself over the years by nurturing her passion for art with various techniques. The artist, who has undertaken important duties in the public sector, has focused especially on watercolor works in recent years and deepened in this field. The watercolor journey he started at the Aynur Akalın Painting Studio in Mudanya opened new doors to the artist's creative world.
Çırağ says the following about the difficulties and beauties of watercolor:
"Watercolor is really quite difficult. Not only the painting phase, but also the design process beforehand requires a lot of effort. First, I determine the priority of the work and shape the design in my mind. This step forms the basis of the work. Then I move on to the painting phase, which is the most careful part. Applying the paint wet is a really challenging process both technically and in terms of patience. The mixing of colors, the control of water, all require great care. Everything must be completely under control."
Drawing attention to the fascinating world of watercolor, the artist states that the transparency of colors and the harmonious dance of water drag the viewer into a completely different experience. Çırağ emphasizes that patience and attention are required at every moment of this difficult technique, and states that it means a lot to him for the viewer to witness this process.
