In his works Ömer Faruk Kaplan emphatically emphasizes the philosophical being of space and force by fixing their phenomenological physicality.
Colored plaster bearing the traces of the sculptural production process translates this approach into the - ostensibly - painterly.
The result is an oscillating tension between image and object, overcoming the stasis of the material in space and time via the dynamics and staggering of the forms.
The picture flows. The object is.
