"FLORA’S CHARM" NADIDE AKDENIZ
Atelier Marvy, Summer 2021 Club Marvy’s art center, Atelier Marvy’s exhibition season opens with the distinguished artist, Nadide Akdeniz’s “Flora’s Charm”, curated by Derya Yücel. The magical dreamland of Akdeniz will be available to visit between 30th June and 31st July. FLORA’S CHARM: NADIDE AKDENIZ The nature created by Nadide Akdeniz in her works can be eerie and menacing sometimes whereas, at times, it becomes tame and attractive with its gorgeous beauty. You either watch with awe or feel sheltered. Landscapes that can be as concealing as a curtain or as tempting as open windows, evoke the mystery and magnetism of secret observation. Flora means botany in Latin and it is the name of the goddess of flowers and the spring. Nadide Akdeniz’s paintings create a mythological habitat on the border of tame and wild. The mesmerising flora of the artist is a symphony that reminds us to behold with awe the sublimity of nature, the incorporeal energy of the forests and the joyful allure of flowers, it is basically visual poetry. Nadide Akdeniz graduated from Gazi Graduate School of Educational Sciences, Arts and Graphic Design. She was a student of distingusihed names like Turan Erol, Adnan Turani and Nevide Gökaydın. Her first works contain a certain amount of critical observation of urban life and people with doses of irony here and there. However, starting from the 90’s she embraced a new narrative of natural details interpreted through photorealism. Akdeniz continues to work in her İstanbul workshop.
