Saman Sarısı illustration 

This is an illustration by Abidin Dino, titled Saman Sarısı, composed of dynamic black marks on a muted background. The spontaneous yet rhythmic arrangement of shapes evokes a sense of movement and energy. The composition is structured around a loose, circular form at the top, from which the marks cascade downwards. Look at how the stark contrast between the black ink and the off-white paper creates a visually arresting effect. Dino's mark-making reflects a broader artistic interest in gestural abstraction, where the act of creation becomes as important as the final image. These marks can be interpreted as a semiotic system, where each stroke functions as a signifier. They don't represent a specific object but rather convey emotions and ideas. The overall effect is one of controlled chaos, where the balance between spontaneity and structure invites ongoing interpretation, challenging viewers to find their own meaning within its forms.
