Ezgi Genç

Dowery Movies

April 01 – April 18

 

 

Ezgi Genç, who studies Traditional Turkish Arts in Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University puts a new interpretation on movie posters, with felt, an art material which has never been used before in designing traditional movie posters. Because she thinks the movie posters get more ordinary day by day and the designers take the easy way out, Ezgi tries to find a personal approach for the situation.

 

Ezgi’s first personal exhibition, which she calls “Dowery Movies”, is at Milk Gallery and Design Store on April 1!

Tiny Diamonds
The Robo Girls are after the missing crystals/diamonds. Most of the images are them posing with them after gathering them up. Either way its a nice excuse to get lots more colour in there. Which is all I need to get the bright pinks and green out. I think colour is such a big important part of my work.
Another new dimension, are the Diamonds themselves, I am usually paint all curves and smooth lines and it was great to throw in a few harder geometric lines against all that smoothness. Hopefully this will push new works another step into expanding on the characters and how I go about paintings them in the future.

Rebecca Ward

September 3 – September 27

My installations are site-specific works dependent upon the space they occupy. Utilizing existing lines, beams, and angles, each piece I create is informed by the individual site and its unique linear movement. Thus, my installations are inherently architectural. I choose patterns and shapes according to detailed measurements of the installation site. Ideally these patterns are numerically symmetrical or somehow numerically balanced, producing a dialogue between line and space.
