Dear Hüseyin Avni,
Thank you for sending me your site to look through.
I have tried to respond earlier,
to your request, but my reply was returned
by
the server. (You may have by
now received that reply).
I have enjoyed looking through
your work, which is beautifully designed and constructed.
The works are well composed
with strong and vivid colours.
Hints of plants, human figures,
maps and road signs, as well as suggestions of
doorways and passages, give the viewer the opportunity to read and make
up their own stories
in the work.
The text that accompanies the work could be made more accessible, I found it
difficult to follow.
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity torespond to your work and
keep in touch.
Regards George Alamidis

Oztopcu,
I've seen your site and I found your painting quite
unusual where both the shapes and the background denote similar visual value.
Technically speaking, the volumetric shapes and planes are also well achieved
and balanced.
Congratulations.

I receveid with pleasure your
email, but my English
language is very very bad.
I have seen your work , is interesting the relations
among colours and shape,I glimpse also the tradition and your culture.
I view abstract as a deep vision of the world and of
the man with his incessant metamorphosis,I try to bring to the people my
vision but it'is difficult for me in Italy becouse people mind is
accustomed to figurative and established art, but I have some satisfaction from
my research throught appreciations and interest in this last years from
foreign country and internet.
Best regards

I find you work very different to my work and
experience, which is much more based in the European tradition,
It is interesting to see how you are using
traditional images from your culture and using them and developing them in an
exciting way, creating something new and unique. I like the bold use of colour.
I wish you every success.
I will add a link, which website do you want me to use?
Please could you give me a link also.

I will be fast and precise:
your work is clear. I love your ability for constrasts.
The works where I can see mineral, organic, liquids reflections
make me feel close to them. That's the good.
I think your paintings could gain more life and more movement
if the forms where not that much closed into strong surroundings colors like black mostly. Your forms appear still or even dead to me
as they get trapped in the canvas. I would work more on dynamics.
I will put you in my links page, if you could do the same for me,
I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks

Hi there from andrew

Hi,
I`ve now had a chance to see most of your work.
I don`t know why I liked it, but none the less...great work!
It seems to me you like to be in control of your work, nothing is left to chance, at least not in the final stages of your work.
And this bothers me, I feel like I`m just hanging on the edge of discovering something through your work, but it eludes me at the last moment.
I would not presume to give an artist as yourself advice, you are after all older and more experienced than I, but I really feel you should relax a bit
more. Intuition can be utilized at every stage of painting a picture. And I feel that at the last stage, when you are almost finished you are a bit too
rational and logical. I miss your personality.
This is just me talking, I love your work none the less.
andrew

Dear Avni,
Your art is indeed rare and very good!
The representations of the non-representational, your geometric imaging of the
human process of reality formation out of the pre-form stirrings of the
creativity and intelligence of the universe is remarkable. If, indeed, the
unique human project has been to put the abstract and ungraspable into shape and
form, tools, language, invention and, of course metaphor itself and lingusitical
mathematics, then we continually wonder at it all!
Have you read Umberto Eco's Sign,
Symbol, Code? How any of us constructs reality is a deep mystery. I realize that
I have said a lot and perhaps presumed too much regarding your own ideas. Let me
know. At least we can open a dialogue.
We are glad that you contacted us. We
hope we can open an enlarged international market for you. Your link, if not
already added, will be included in the very next update of our database. In what
other ways can we be helpful to you?
Thank you again for considering Arthby
’s.
