Meltem Işık is known for her unpretentious yet intricate compositions of photographic images. Carefully put together, her work is an inquiry into the way we see and perceive the human body.

A series of drawings generated by an apparatus in the back of a moving vehicle, a system of sliding rails and elastic holds a pen on to paper and records the forces at work within the vehicle. As the car moves much like a ball on the back seat of a car, as you break the pen moves forward, you turn left the pen moves right, etc.

Max Ernst, 1937, private collection.

“The creature in Ernst's L'ange represents one of his most menacing, as its dynamic form commands the entire canvas against the backdrop of an ominous sky. The title, which positions this figure as representation of an angel and also of the triumph of the Surrealist movement, is a testament to Ernst's wit.”

Anish Kapoor’s work has always challenged our perceptions of what is real–or true. He first came to prominence in the early 80’s with a series of pigment works that mysteriously emerged from walls and floor of the gallery. Strange organic and architectural forms of pure colour and material that left the viewer unsure of their solidity and boundaries. Kapoor has gone on to create works in materials such and stone, mirror, wax, silicone and earth that confound and confuse our relationship both to the space around us, the object, and the objects of our own interior.
