The wall was his passion. If we look at urban walls with the eyes of Burhan Do?ançay a completely different world opens up: half-ripped posters on rough brickwork, covered ingraffiti, scribblings, messages, signs, stickers. From this rich stock of structures, signs and symbols the artist created his wall fragments, his Urban Walls. Do?ançay (19292013) was born in Istanbul and settled in New York in 1964, where he moved within the art scene around Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns. His subject is the visual perception of texture, place and memory, which he researches in serial works. For his Urban Walls he records house walls and façades all over the world in a variety of media, using a wide range of materials and techniques such as photography, collage and painting. His works are archives of past decades which capture the spirit of the times. From the 1970s and 1980s he progresses from these works to develop his Ribbons calligraphic paintingsof poetic charm.
