The noise of the outside world is unrealistically more than necessary. For the inhabitants of this world without truth, this is terrifyingly normal. The emptiness inside the desire gains deepens every day. Restlessness trapped among the thoughts piling up on oneself is there in its current state. All the nonsense we swallow, the eerie jokes we laugh at, all the bugs that bite our flesh, the cartoons we watch, all the candies we eat to our heart's content, the toys we never part with, in that hole we are afraid to look at; Wild, frightening, mischievous, familiar, attractive, and inviting.

The still life tradition contains meaning within itself. Without the need for explanation, it invites the viewer to leave behind the questioning mind, believe in the reality of what they see, and simply enjoy the experience of looking. The constructed nature of the representation is forgotten. When looking at the completed painting, the fiction moves towards the present reality in the viewer's mind.

In the "More Than Necessary" exhibition, Candan İşcan uses the seemingly obvious traditions of still life and portraiture in contrast to their starting points. The exhibition, which includes oil paintings and stone prints in which he unrealistically constructs images of everyday life and nature with images that nod to lowbrow, popular, and subculture, invites the audience to look and set aside their questioning minds.
