Beneath a violet and indigo twilight sky and pink clouds, slender poplars rise in rows. In the foreground a meadow divided by a winding stream is scattered with shrubs, ferns and red-leaved trees, each rendered in its own form and colour. In the last light of sunset the cooling colours turn, through the naive idiom's meticulous detail, into a poetic stillness. The artist's signature appears at the 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.
