AHMET FITOLOĞLU
Cage, birds, figures, 2022 — Ahmet Fitoloğlu, 2022, Acrylic on canvas

Signed Fitol 22. An interior scene: a window-cage structure at centre left with birds in various colours inside; in front, two figures — a seated woman and another standing figure. In the upper left, a horse's head (or a painting?) seen through a window. The composition is made entirely of symbols: cage, bird, figure, window — each calling for an interpretation, but the artist fixes on none. Colours are saturated and warm — purple, yellow, turquoise, red. A moment in Fitoloğlu's recent practice where symbol and free association interweave. He passes through a Turkish-Mediterranean allegorical tradition to arrive at his own individual language.
