Sarkis Synopsis

100 - Munch'tan Sonra | After Munch accompanies Sarkis' exhibition 85 Screams: After Munch held at Dirimart Dolapdere in 2023. Marking the artist's 85th birthday, the book features photographic reproductions of 100 oil-on-paper works created between November 2014 and January 2015. Titled 100 Screams: After Munch, this powerful series draws inspiration from the iconic figure in Edvard Munch's The Scream, an image that has haunted Sarkis since childhood and echoed throughout his oeuvre.

Eschewing brushes, the artist applies white and red oil paints directly from the tube to paper, capturing the raw immediacy and velocity of a scream. Produced shortly after the works were made, the photographic reproduction by the artist emphasise their shifting presence over time and across geographies. Spanning the years from Sarkis' birth in 1938 to the present and beyond, this autobiographical publication offers a visceral reflection on artistic memory, trauma, and transformation through one of modern art's most enduring motifs.

Text in English and Turkish.
