Ayse Bayram's Watercolours Mine the Subconscious at Versus Arts and Espacio Gallery
Ayse Bayram's watercolours explore the subconscious through dreamlike imagery, using the medium's inherent unpredictability to mirror the mind's fluidity. Works like "Sea of the subconscious" evoke feelings of being adrift, while "Will and Shadow" addresses external manipulation of identity. "Carnival of Identity" examines the multiple personas people adopt in daily life. Bayram's practice aligns with surrealist traditions, referencing Salvador Dali, Giorgio de Chirico, Frida Kahlo, Dorothea Tanning, and Leonor Fini. Her works were exhibited at Versus Arts, London (March 28–April 4) and in a solo show at Espacio Gallery, London (April 25–28).
