491 - Emin Cizenel – 2nd Phase of the CALENDAR Project at Sidestreets
4/16/2013

Emin Cizenel’s Calendar Project has reached the second phase. I have been to the show at Sidestreets on April 11.

With his new paintings he reminds us of the disastrous fire in 1995 that started around Lapta on the northern side of the Kyrenia mountain range and raced along to Bellapais. What remained was destruction and ashes. The colours of fire and ashes:  Emin Cizenel has brought them onto canvas,  the raging red and opposite the colours of a dead zone.  A piece of dead charred wood transformed into a sculpture, the rest of a tree, part of a forest once guaranteeing rain over the island. Fire and Water, flow of the elements, life and death.

Kids came in from the street living nearby and Anber Onar , co-founder of Sidestreets, tried to explain to them the power of fire.

We are waiting to see Phase III, what will be on his calendar then, what event.

 

3rd Phase: 16 May

4th Phase: 13 June
