Beral Madra, Eylül, 2001
Günnur Özsoy's sculptures are independent, mobile, and mutable; they accommodate to the dimensions, volumes, light, and other qualities of the space. They can be placed on the floor, on pedestals, or they can be made to swing. In this way their weight is perceived differently. With their organic shapes they take the viewer back to the well-known story of sculpture in the 20th century. And, with their flawless shiny surfaces and attractive colors, they imitate consumer goods. Two essential aspects of the artwork -the aesthetic value and the market value- are unpretentiously presented. These pieces, in groups or solitary, fulfill their functions as objects of communication between the artists and the public. This is exactly what the artist intends to do; she approaches the viewer with good spirits and invites him/her to enjoy the freedom of thinking through art. She also approaches the paradoxical nodes of presentation and consumption of the artwork. What she produces is abstract and beautiful; it suits the desire of the consumer. What she intends is the expansion of thinking and interpreting; is the viewer ready to follow this path?
