The Room No:238 Painting Erna Ucar


The Room No:238

Acrylic on unprimed canvas
100x150cm
Streched / MDF Frame


The Room Series is about modern people, the relationships I observe in my immediate environment, popular culture and media, the idiosyncratic moods of crowds from different cultures. Observing different cultures, after spending years living in Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Malaysia and Luxembourg, experiencing life and light in different geographies and cultures, I realized that people live in similar small apartments, same coffee in the morning, we watch same tv shows, listen to the same music, and we work in similar offices in big cities, which brings loneliness at the end. The most special aspect of my technique is combining different chemistries and textures, different 
materials, raw canvas, graphite, acrylic, and sand; o achieve a harmony fed by contrasts with bright colours accompanying the pastel tones in my colour palette. Different textures with relief-like, fluid and creamy consistency play the leading role. Placing compositions and figures on the canvas for a long time with a unique front-back perspective is the most important stage, making me feel like I’m producing graphic design works with traditional methods, and huge 2D posters with protagonists and extras. My technique carries traces of graphic art with my figures emphasized in the fauvist style, bold colours and a construction free from 2-dimensional perspective.
