About Alp Özger
That Beautiful Perception
The concept of stream of consciousness and projection from partial unconscious can tag a wide fragment of my works. It is about leaving traces on paper, on medium with harmony, beauty and aesthetics. An imagery comes to my mind and I think whether I should add it or not. Maybe its like taking notes in a way. Mostly beginning and progress is unplanned and flows spontaneously, but sometimes it is intended before the work to include an imagery, a concept or a detail. Sometimes I add a section from the view or an object, from the location where I work that while. I don't plan the result mostly, its like a discovery and art appears. I also like the pattern called hexagonal circle packing and the visual effect of it. Sometimes I add an imagery in form of a word or a detail, that just comes to my mind, whether its consciously relevant or not. Sometimes after a process of selection between options of imageries from the personal backstory I think, I include elements that surface from it, maybe a memory, maybe a hope, maybe an association of ideas. I extract imageries sometimes from a definition, sometimes from a state, sometimes from a concept, sometimes from a reference, a comment or an interpretation. I like to use organic forms like those reminiscent of sprouting extensions, attaching ivy roots and branches and I also like multi layered expression. Covering the unintended, unpleasant traces and flaws by softening and they appear beautiful.
