+ Nilbar Güreş . Galerie Martin Janda

Born in Turkey, Güreş now lives in Istanbul, New York and Vienna and works with various media – collages, drawings, objects, photography, video and performance. Nilbar Güreş offers her observers seemingly direct access that takes on varyingly playful, poetic or even ironic characteristics. However, hidden in the background are social-political constructs that can coalesce to depict individual destinies... The artist transfers her questioning approach toward identity and traditional gender roles to the medium of collage using an expanded range of formal tools. In her delicate collages she brings together a number of techniques, such as drawing, embroidery, appliqué and painting, on a background of large-sized, dark-coloured fabric.
