Bodrum Art Collective

A visit to in the centre of Bodrum to see latest exhibition with proved inspirational. I’d heard of painting with coffee and assumed I wouldn’t like it. I was wrong. Alp Çağpar’s work is beautiful and moving.

Inspired by the Rumi poem. The shape of Water. Oil on canvas 70 x 90cm.
When out on my early morning summer swims I'm fascinated by the solidness of the body above water in contrast to the shapes, colours and softness as you're gently touched by the seaweed and fish, collectively form an interesting fluidity under water. By Johanna den Dunnen .art

It has been so lovely spending time with my close friend Kim Carlow, a fellow printmaker- we studied together, sharing a studio at art school 37 years ago! Earlier this year Kim’s gallery and studio relocated to the picturesque seaside town Tenby in Wales. If you are in the area go and visit this lovely creative space where you can view my monoprints alongside Kim’s lino cuts and gifts.

“Every time I paint a watercolour I recreate the same picture in mixed media. I’m still trying to decide which style I like best. The original “Walking into the Future” is now hanging in its new owner’s house.” - Annie Onursan

Sue and Annie were at the opening of Tuna Altunkaya’s exhibition ’s wonderfully restored building in central Bodrum yesterday evening. Lots to write about - a blog post will follow.
