“A piece of rope, another one longer and thinner, muffle, some stroke no splinter, a couple of pebbles, a sunflower and detached petals, some broken part of an old toy, a little sand, mother's stolen buttons, mother's pins, a few broken kitchen tools, piece of bruised paper, fishbone, grandma’s ripped unfinished knitting...”is how Anıl Duran describes his art that uses a spontaneous language driven by the story of place and time.
Anıl’s current work is inspired by a simple childhood game: pick up things that are scattered about; throw them up in the air towards the sun or some other light source; and watch them as they reach their highest, stop for a moment and drop down, imagining their silhouettes as various objects and stories. Dreamlike and mysterious, he defines his art as creation without knowledge of what is going to follow.
