Selin Çiftçi’s review of Yağız Özgen’s first solo exhibition in the USA, Astronomy Picture Of The Day is published on Art Unlimited’s July-August issue both in English and Turkish.
“Together with the exhibition, a single photo frame from the dark side of the sky opens a new door to the representation of art and the nature of painting: The existence of another space. In this controlled deconstruction, I don’t know if the color that is transformed by the sun, the fragmented image of color that is separated, and the pixelated image will miss themselves, because Yağız’s laboratory irrevocably transforms everything it puts on its agenda into another.”
