New York,- October 12, 2007 - Turkish artist / writer Bedri Baykam will show at the Broadway Gallery in New York between October 16-31, 2007. Another version of the exhibition was shown at the Piramid Art Center in Istanbul. Baykam’s New York exhibition will be his 96th solo show and the artists 7th appearance in New York. The show will travel to Tuscany, Italy between November 24, 2007 – January 6, 2008. Baykam’s recent works carries the synthesis of a long journey. As the pioneer of the Turkish Neo-Expressionist movement (Yeni Disavurumculuk) that emerged in the early 80’s. Baykam’s recent works bring the “sour-sweet” breeze of a new zone made up of combination of , various periods in his work. These include “The Transparent Layers”, “Inner Traces”, “Girly Plots”, “Critical Signs”. Freedom, hidden truths, arrogant materials, simple iconographies that allow subconscious references, bring a “harmony within, uncongeniality” and a new reality. The artist reaches this synthesis with this new series titled “Lolitart(e)” while he draws the attention with his model photographies, rich collage materials and very personal painterly dense layers. Thus, Baykam’ s mysterious girls and some very private personal-familial belongings are being exposed to the discriminatory approval of curious onlookers. The show in Broadway Gallery is curated by New York critic Robert C. Morgan. Dates of the show: October 16-31, 2007 Opening Reception: October 19, 2007 / 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. (Please, R.S.V.P.
