A village set among snow-covered hills, described with the naïve idiom's love of detail: houses with coloured roofs, slender-trunked pines, a winding road and tiny vehicles are each worked one by one. A frozen lake beyond and the pale sun emerging in a turquoise sky complete the scene.
About the Artist
Born in Konya in 1960, Bayram Gümüş moved with his family to Istanbul in 1967. A meeting with the painter Kasım Koçak in 1983 gave new direction to his practice; the following year he opened his own studio and began to earn his living as a painter. One of the leading representatives of Turkish naïve painting, he brings the joy of living and the delight of the everyday to canvas with a wholly distinctive sense of colour. He held his first solo exhibition in Ankara in 1985 and has since exhibited widely in Turkey and the United States.
