Gamze Yalçın brings a worldly spring to the audience with her exhibition "I believe in spring." The main theme of the paintings is various countries and cultures discovered by Yalçın with her adventurous spirit and through guest artist programs. The nature and architectural relationship, which we follow as a minimal narrative, is observed as a visual sequence of abstraction in a world without humans. Mostly abstracted from nature, rarely from architecture, the paintings and drawings we observe become traces of an allegorical impression, forming a formal and painterly imagery.
Yalçın's public wall paintings, along with her paintings conceptualized through experimental and alternative methods such as canvas, paper, and fabric, are examined as a poetic interpretation of nature. The color palette she uses turns into a transparent and permeable medley with a pastel rendition of colors found in nature. These paintings, which will evoke a warm and heartfelt smile between spring and summer, will appear as the bright lights of warm spring and hot summer days, presenting the paradise of a world that we can speak of as nature, architecture, and utopia. Among Yalçın's world explorations and nature interpretations, the color of the mountains, the waves of the seas, and the rustle of the leaves emerge as a new narrative, a visually harmonious representation. Nature on canvas and paper, flowing colors on fabric, offer the unseen, unpredictable tones of nature. It pulls the viewer from the darkness of winter to the light scents of spring and the breezes of summer. "I believe in spring" integrates ironically with the darkness humanity experiences, aligning with the satire of the saying, "there is a morning after every night." Among the colorful tones, permeable lights, and layered abstractions of nature paintings, Yalçın shares the various cultures of the world, its exotic nature, and all the unseen beauties as a grand invitation to spring with the audience.
