Selcuk Yilmaz - Sculpture
Sculpture
Selcuk Yilmaz is doing very interesting work in a variety of materials both abstract and figurative. His work is very sophisticated. It is both spiritual and mysterious.
One piece is the head of a horse classicly depicted that is very strange and evocative; It seems muzzled yet is suffused with suppressed power. It is a fetish. In describing his work he mentions the relation of the past to the future. His work is shamanic. I agree with him, they seem to be doorways, from the long ago to the far future. Perhaps because of the anxiety of the present he seeks to know what was and what will be. (Frank Shifreen)
