AHMET FITOLOĞLU
Great red circle, 2020 — Ahmet Fitoloğlu, 2020, Mixed media on canvas

One of the largest-format works in the collection, roughly 80×80 cm square canvas. At the centre, a giant red circle — sun, moon, heart, fire, intuition — what it is is not said, because it should not be said. Around it a textured universe of blue, green, turquoise; deep purple-black tones in the upper section. The circle is the most direct formulation of the manifesto's concept of 'the infinite within a moment.' The great red circle works almost like a Rothko field — but Fitoloğlu scatters figurative fragments around it — small faces, birds, fish. This work is a monumental expression where the artist brings together abstract geometry and intuitive figuration. Powerful enough to hold a large room wall on its own.
