Gokce Art
Gökçe [Danish pronunciation: Gøkche] is a Turkish name that means “sky blue”. As her love and deeper journey with her art began with the color blue, it resonates a lot with her to keep it as a part of her studio name. She has been specializing in the ancient Turkish art of paper marbling for the past 10,5 years. In her artworks, Gökçe keeps this 500-year-old traditional art technique alive whilst finding innovative approaches and doing the undone with it. She focuses on achieving outcomes other than the conventional, creating an illusion of depth and 3D motifs in her paintings. She paints on the water’s surface with earth pigments – the oldest way of using colors – and tools found in nature, such as horse hair bound to rose twigs as brushes.
At FindersKeepers Art Maze, Gökçe presents an interactive exhibition showcasing her unique 500-year-old method, created with natural materials. You will witness 10-20 meter long collaborative artwork, where painting is done on a water surface and then transferred to paper during the exhibition. Add your own touch to the artwork and see how the fleeting moment is captured by the talented artist.
