Beneath a turquoise sky, slender poplars and round-crowned trees are rendered in the patient stippling of the naïve idiom, dotted one by one. Across a forest floor where orange, violet, yellow and green meet, a winding path, small wildflowers and birds gliding between the branches give the scene its rhythm. Signed by the artist at lower right.
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.
