The Grand Canal of Venice at sunset: an orange-pink twilight sky stretches above a row of historic façades whose windows and quayside lanterns glimmer with light. In the foreground, gondolas and boats moored at the landing move across an animated surface of water carrying the warm reflections of the evening lights; composed in free brushstrokes, the painting finds its focus in the shimmer of light upon the water. Signed by the artist at lower right.
About the Artist
Bülent Kılıç (b. 1974, Tekirdağ) took painting as a minor subject during his studies at the Faculty of Education of Trakya University; after a period of teaching, he continued his training at Mimar Sinan University and devoted himself entirely to painting. He is known for his cityscapes of Istanbul — its quarters, its islands and the shores of the Bosphorus — and his works regularly find buyers at Turkey's leading auction houses. He continues to work from his studio in Istanbul.
