Rather than considering the figure as the figure solely, Özlem Kalkan Erenus is exploring the possibilities of deformation and abstraction. Instead of performing a narrative disposition, her peculiar figurative descriptions, which are reproduced through fragmentation and brought together in poliptych arrangements, can be associated with a holistic expression. Forms imposed to deformation and fragmentation are assisted by the search for new material, implying an experimental approach. Cement, sand and other unconventional materials applied on canvas describe a new surface structure and tend towards diverse textural values. The reliefic appearance of her work, together with the effort of simulating a stone-like structure in material, can be designated with the research of a plasticity transferred on to canvas.
