About the Artist
A surrealist voice in contemporary Turkish painting, Selman Altun constructs on his canvases a dreamlike world lifted into the sky. Fantastical hot-air balloons bearing houses and castles aloft, floating islands, chess motifs and fairy-tale villages are the principal themes of his oil paintings. Signing his canvases "SELMAN", the artist invites the viewer into a poetic universe of the imagination through these finely wrought compositions.
