Deniz Bedir has, for several years, been developing a pictorial practice somewhere between bas-relief and fresco. Starting as a new process, he seeks to refine it over the years in order to one day create a ritual. He paints using building materials and draws inspiration from his memories of the Mediterranean landscapes that have accompanied him since childhood. Deniz creates imposing paintings with an enigmatic presence -inviting viewers into a contemplative experience.
His pictorial practice guides him to think and imagine installations composed of his paintings which are intended to be convivial spaces, where everyone feels welcome. Through these spaces, within which we are invited to look after one another, we might imagine a new world.
