Small Faces, Big Sizes,2015
The exhibition will be on view from January 20 to March 13, 2015.
In exhibitions about “living beings” - beings born and dying, is the “facial expression” and the subject of the exhibition realistic? Exaggeratedly large? Or small - that is, its scale - is one of the most important components of the emotion desired to be conveyed. It is aimed to juxtapose the works selected from the museum's collection with this in mind.
The first characteristic of the most important artworks in the history of art is that they have a fascination that traps the viewers in their gravitational field and compels them to come towards them, even from far away. When they bring the viewers, who are drawn into their mesmerizing nets and draw them close to them, to “eye-to-eye” proximity, it can be said that both the “little face” and the “big body” that looks down on us and forces us to look up are at the closest point and ready to share their secrets with the viewer... Of course, as the viewer takes the steps to approach the artwork in question, he/she also works on the file he/she has compiled from the memories of his/her memory and tries to understand what sources of inspiration and references these polar opposite artworks of the artist open or open the door to.
