Description
A door of a 'vernacular architecture' shed reconstructed as an abstract painting.I had done this a few years ago. Then before uploading here, I did several other versions...with more natural toning, with hand-painted colors, etc. After spending several hours on them, I went back to the original version. Oh, well. I uploaded some of the others into scraps so that you can see what I agonize over:

Who? But my remark was more about the general feeling of the pic, not the use of the door in itself.

And this is a museum he founded for his works

Famous in Turkey, ofc. Like all Turkish artists, practically unknown outside.

Burhan ----> Rauschenberg (at least the first link).
That is not always true... Yilmaz GΓΌney, for example... Ohran Pamuk... And some footballer like Emre!!!

A few names, certainly, but not proportional to what could be. Ofc, it's not just the Turkish artists that have low exposure. There are 1.2billion Chinese, and I cannot name a single Chinese musician, or artist. (I know they exist, exhibit and sell their work in the West. It is just that I don't pay enough attention to learn their names.)

Ah ah ah!! It is true, undeniable!! However, I do not think there are so many on "official" scenarios, because China is still a dictatorship and it shows a lot. I can at least mention some directors: Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige for example. But yea, they are definitely exceptions.
