Investigation of Adnan Turani's Mother-Child Series in The Art Of Painting

Summary/Abstract: The mother-child relationship is the first existential step. Artist Adnan Turani, one of the important names of Contemporary Turkish Painting, who illustrates this relationship, has examined the feeling of trust in the source of creation in his works. Throughout the artist's life and production process, economic crises, income inequality, political tensions, war and armament, changes caused by global warming may have caused the artist to choose a theme that reminds the sense of security as a source of concern. The artist's mother-child themed paintings have been the subject of research, as Turani expresses an exciting and internal reckoning theme with new artistic discoveries by working on this subject. In order to make sense of the work of art, it must be researched, explained, discussed and evaluated. For this reason, five works of Turani with the theme of mother and child have been evaluated with their front and back structures. While the paintings are analyzed with the material surface visible in the front structure, they are analyzed in terms of meaning, meaning and content in the back structure. Plastic paint texture research and abstraction are the most striking elements in the preliminary structure of the paintings. In addition, mother and child figures were painted in the same plastic texture, drawing attention to the strong bond between the two figures. The artist's mother-child series is represented in a way that evokes feelings of love and affection in the audience. By blending the world of matter with his own imagination, the artist always moved away from the real image and offered a different perception opportunity to the audience. The social responsibility that Turani assumed in the field of art shed light on the period he lived. For this reason, it is aimed to introduce the findings obtained in the research to the Turkish Painting and Art History.
