LEVENTE BARANYAİ TYRANNUSSAPIENS’İN İZİNDE

Levente Baranyai’s first solo show in Turkey offers a "birds eye view" perspective on the catastrophic influence of people on nature, as a “TYRANNUS SAPIENS”.

Dedicating his 30-year artistic career to depicting “new landscapes” of the earth in his unique approach, Baranyai commands attention on humanity’s damage on topography. His paintings exude a sense of clarity and objectivity of satellite images when viewed from a certain distance; but once examined in close up, they become more subjective, eventually disintegrating. Through this gaze, Baranyai invites his audiences to re-establish their relationships with the earth and nature, while criticising the landscapes he addresses.
