Hayal Meyal(Reminiscence), by Paris-based artist Aslı Torcu, is her first solo show in Istanbul. The paintings in Reminiscence are apparently of specific people from Torcu’s own life; yet it seems that Torcu’s primary concern is less with the object(s) of any particular memory than with the act of memory itself, in all its inevitable imperfection. In the words of artist Eric Bonnet, Torcu’s characters “dissolve and melt into oblivion in the chromatic bath that envelops them.”
