22/04/19 - Irfan Önürmen (Turkey, 1958) displays at C24 Gallery, in Chelsea, New York, a series of works presenting dislocated men. Rejecting sculptural realism and with a very personal approach to the human being, Önürmen decomposes the material he uses like a neo-informatist.

These powerful distorted images are related with the artist’s personal vision on mankind today: the head is the center of power and thus can present different dimensions according to whom it belongs to.
