In Gunetre II, Baris Gokturk extends his Shapeshifter body of work with a site-specific installation for Equity Gallery’s courtyard. Deconstructed, layered, and rebuilt into a new form, the work feels vaguely familiar while resisting easy definition.
Through experimental, multilayered processes, Gokturk creates densely coded, ambiguous works that linger between drawing, painting, and sculpture. Giving new form to found objects, existing artworks, and paint skins on surfaces, these creations loosen predetermined definitions and adapt and reform in response to the environments they inhabit.
