Original artwork description:

"DnA" Acrylic and Oil on Canvas by Onur Karaalioğlu, 2020.

The chaotic state of the universe and complicated formations that the universe is in are the only urges that trigger Karaalioğlu’s artistic action. This chaotic structure, which shapes the artist’s perspective on the world, excludes ordinary life from its perception boundaries in his works. As the dynamism within the chaos transforms into a consistent behavior in the creative process of the artist, it also mediates the search for reality. The examination of the visible parts of the chaos within individual judgments, allows the reality to turn into a void from out of its own reality. Evaluating the concept of chaos over the bodies that can express human psychological tension, the artist regards the human body as the starting point of chaos due to its complicated structure and brings up the problems of the complexity of chaos. The body image, shaped by this understanding, puts a critical attitude towards the source of problems, while revealing the effects of chaos on the individuals naturally. In this context, structural distortions affecting the whole of the works create an individual mechanism of criticism by destroying the facts considered to be true, and ensure that the phenomenons are reconsidered.
