Solidarity (2023) Original Oil Painting by Gökhan Alpgiray

Solidarity (Solidarity)
In my opinion, the word "solidarity" has an important meaning in terms of the existential motivation it indicates. One of the cornerstones of existence is solidarity, and there are examples of micro life forms in nature. The last hundred years were a period in which human social life was torn apart with a scalpel, consciously reduced, confined to very small units, and mounted in front of visual communication tools. We are under systematic attack that interferes with how we live, what we eat, what we wear, where we can go, who we can love. Solidarity is the medicine and antidote to all this.
This artwork is a modern work that I created in 2023. A grunge aesthetic is used with intricate silhouettes and textured elements, primarily using black and orange tones to evoke a sense of autumn and natural decay. The painting features micro life forms integrated into its design and emphasizes the importance of solidarity.
