Ethnic Minority

"Taken from my Nature Mysticism series of paintings, the two poles of visual representation - both figuration and abstraction are on display here on a single-channel, split-screen video diptych. On one side is the out-of-body psychedelic colored, trippy geometric abstractions. And on the opposite side are color-saturated Edenic, joyous shining Oleander flowers. Through a subtle yet trancey animation, they overcome their binary opposition to meld into a mesmerizing whole." Mustafa Hulusi's practice orbits around mining his hybrid identity – he was born in London to Turkish-Cypriot parents – to create evocative paintings, installations, films, and photographs. The artist represented Cyprus at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007 and has exhibited widely across Europe as well as in Asia. His work is in the collections of the Tate Modern, Pinault Collection, Olbricht Collection, and Saatchi Collection, among many others.
