Quercus . 2019
After having adopted black for a few years for social and aesthetic reasons (Light in the Dark, 2017), Nejat Satı returns to color in full force with this exhibition. The paintings represent the artist’s recent observations of appearance, characteristics and nature of colors, taking his inspiration directly from wildflowers. These so-called wild plants can adapt to and thrive in extreme environments and have no need whatsoever for humans to exist. To study their color tones, Sati started observing nature surrounding his studio located in the heart of rural Turkey, with the help of a serendipitous old botanic book.
