:bulletblack: Info about Cenin in English :bulletblack: Cenin hakkında Türkçe bilgi * :bulletblack:

:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack: Cenin von Catlien a.k.a. Burcu Corbaci (ENG) :bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack:
Cenin (pronounce as Jeanine) is an autodidactic, self-taught, intuitive, visionary artist since 2005. She lives and creates in mind, womb, tomb and Istanbul. Cenin, her alter ego, means "fetus" in English. She studies the appearances or phenomena of the psyche - the various appearances and manifestations and forms that the psyche produces - and understood them with a depth of insight, then she reflects in her own image. Art for Cenin is a direct method of accessing the collective unconscious. She uses art to bring forward messages from her own personal unconscious using universal archetypes, symbols, subliminal messages, forms, colors, meshed with her personal - complex - iconographic - visual vocabulary. As featured in the book Imagine The Imagination-New Visions of Surrealism, she is also one of the 100 contemporary surrealist artists of our time. Her symbols do call up unconscious memories and infantile anxieties, but they also disclose a reality that never existed before and a need of self-reparation. So while her symbols do have a psychotic regressive side, they also have a progressive side. It is a progressive revelation of a universal structure that goes beyond the individual personal experience. Cenin’s works concerns self alienation & actualization, the psychic state of infant hero, the after-effects of a child’s separation from the mother through birth, the feelings of death - despair melancholy, unfulfilled feminine idenitity, inner images of wounded mother & child, being unable to speak, traumatic feelings of being born, life vs. death instinct, alienation, self destruction & reparation, sacrificial infant/fetus gods, divine child, lost & found reality, layers of consciousness, dramatization of simulations, infantile anxiety, Jungian archetypal symbolism, gnosticism, occultism, juxtaposition of depressive and manic, mental interconnectivity...

:bulletblack: As of February 2012, Cenin is represented officially by C.A.M. (Contemporary Art Marketing) Gallery which is a leading gallery in İstanbul art scene, hosted over 200 exhibitions, continuing its avant-garde and innovator manner. C.A.M. Gallery was founded in 1992 and has been run in two different places, Akaretler and Nişantaşı, since 2006.

:bulletblack: A review about Cenin's art by Nicholas Anema :bulletblack:
"Cenin's paintings resonate spiritually with anyone who has the privilege to view them. Her paintings, in my opinion as a vast phantasmogoria of sublimity that will send your brain into religious ecstasy. Her paintings are also very rebellious in tone – she's perhaps the most revolutionary visionary painter since William Blake. And you can definitely hear echoed throughout her paintings the William Blake poem, the beginning of a Little Girl Lost: “Children of a future age, reading this indignant page, know that in a former time, love sweet love was deemed a crime.” And I think that future generations will look upon her paintings and basically get the same message. Love is still deemed a crime, which is perhaps where the politics come in. Freud has frequently been combined with Karl Marx, but Cenin presents perhaps a more potent combination of C.G. Jung and Karl Marx. You know, basically we're not only alienated from our libido because of capitalism, but we're also alienated from our collective unconsciousness. And really her paintings serve as an impetus to allow for those repressed psychic elements to flourish and bloom. Her paintings really serve the same function as water does with plants. I mean they heal. But, as she said, they don't only heal, they also serve to reveal, as she said: “a universal structure that goes beyond the individual personal experience.” And also a lot like William Blake, she paints from innocence instead of experience. She is one of the greatest outsider artists of all time. Her paintings are very truthful and authentic – which is unlike most art these days, which, as Ezra Pound said: “they're not made to live with and to endure, but to sell and sell quickly.” Which is – frankly a tragedy. But, anyways, yeah, she's one of the greatest painters who's ever lived and I think history will place her alongside people like Salvador Dali, or Rene Magritte, or Leonora Carrington, or Remedios Varo."

:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack: Cenin von Catlien a.k.a. Burcu Corbaci (TR) :bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack:
Cenin 2005 yılından bu yana otodidakt, kendi kendini yetiştirmiş, sezgisel, hayalci bir sanatçı. Yaşadığı ve yarattığı yer zihin, rahim, mezar ve İstanbul. ‘Öteki ben’i ‘Cenin’ ile psişenin görünümlerini ve fenomenlerini – psişenin ürettiği çeşitli görünümleri, dışavurumları ve formları – inceliyor ve içgörüsünün derinliklerinde onları kavrıyor, ardından kendi görüntüsünde yansıtıyor. Cenin için sanat, doğrudan kolektif bilinçdışına erişebilmenin bir yolu. Sanatı, kişisel – karmaşık – ikonografik – görsel hazinesi ile kaynaştırdığı evrensel arketipler, semboller, alt algısal mesajlar, formlar ve renkler aracılığıyla kendi bilinçaltındaki mesajları gün yüzüne çıkarmak için kullanıyor. Imagine The Imagination-New Visions of Surrealism (Hayal Gücünü Hayal Etmek-Sürrealizmin Yeni Vizyonları) kitabında yayınlandığı üzere Cenin aynı zamanda, günümüzün 100 çağdaş sürrealist sanatçısından biri. Sembolleri, bilinçaltı hatıralarını ve bebeklik dönemine ait kaygıları canlandırmakla kalmıyor, aynı zamanda şimdiye dek var olmamış bir gerçekliğin kapılarını aralıyor, kendi kendini iyileştirme ihtiyacını açığa vuruyor. Böyle olunca, psikotik olarak regresif bir yönü bulunan sembolleri, aynı zamanda progresif bir nitelik de kazanıyor. Bu, bireyin kişisel deneyiminin ötesinde evrensel bir yapının gelişerek, ilerleyerek açığa çıkışı. Kendini ötekileştirme, kendini gerçekleştirme, bebek kahramanın psişik hali, bir çocuğun doğumla annesinden ayrılışının artçı etkileri, ölüm-umutsuzluk-melankoli hisleri, tamamlanmayan kadın kimliği, yaralı anne ve çocuğun içsel yansımaları, konuşamamak, doğmanın getirdiği travmatik hisler, yaşam- ölüm içgüdüsü, yabancılaşma, özyıkım ve özsağaltım, adak olarak bebek/fetüs tanrı, kutsal çocuk, kaybedilen ve keşfedilen gerçeklik, bilincin katmanları, simülasyonların dramatize edilişi, bebeklikle ilintili kaygılar, Jung’un arketip simgeciliği, gnostisizm, okültizm, depresif ve maniğin dirsek teması, zihinsel bağlantısallık Cenin’in sanat eserlerinde işlediği temalar arasında.

:bulletblack: Cenin, Şubat 2012’den beri, 200’den fazla sergiye ev sahipliği yapan, avant-garde ve yenilikçi tarzını sürdüren İstanbul’un önde gelen galerinden C.A.M. (Contemporary Art Marketing) Galeri’de resmi olarak temsil ediliyor. C.A.M. Galeri 1992’de kuruldu ve 2006 yılından beri Nişantaşı ve Akaretler’deki galerileriyle etkinliklerini sürdürüyor.

:bulletblack: Cenin'in sanatı hakkında bir değerlendirme - Nicholas Anema yazdı :bulletblack:
"Cenin’in resimleri, onları görme ayrıcalığına sahip herkeste spritüel bir yankı uyandıracak. Resimleri, kanaatimce, dimağınızda dinsel bir esrime yaratacak yücelikte muazzam bir fantazmagori. Resimlerinde oldukça isyankâr bir ton da var - Cenin muhtemelen William Blake’den bu güne var olan en devrimci, vizyoner ressam. Resimlerine bakınırken William Blake’in şiiri, A Little Girl Lost’un ilk mısralarının yankılarını duymamanız elde değil: “Gelecekte bir zamanın çocukları, okurken bu içerlemiş sayfayı, evvelki bir zamanda aşk, tatlı aşk, bir suç sayılırdı”. Bence gelecek nesiller de onun resimlerine bakarken, özünde aynı mesajı alacaklar. Aşk halen bir suç kabul ediliyor, muhtemelen politikanın devreye girdiği nokta da bu. Freud çoğu zaman Karl Marx ile birlikte anılıyor, ancak Cenin herhalde C. G. Jung ve Karl Marx’ın daha güçlü bir birleşimi. Libidomuza yabancılaşmamızın sebebi yalnızca kapitalizm değil, aynı zamanda kolektif bilinçdışından uzaklaşmamız. Cenin’in resimleri ise, bastırılan bu psişik unsurların filizlenerek serpilmesine imkân tanıyan bir ivme. Resimleri hakikaten de, suyun bitkilere etkisiyle aynı; iyileştiren bir yanı var. Kendisinin ‘bireyin kişisel deneyiminin ötesindeki evrensel bir yapı’ olarak ifade ettiği üzere, iyileştirmekle kalmıyor, aynı zamanda açığa vuruyor. Yine William Blake’e son derece benzer şekilde Cenin, deneyimden ziyade masumiyet duygusunu aktarıyor. O, tüm zamanların en büyük outsider sanatçılarından biri. Resimleri, günümüzde gördüğümüz – Ezra Pound’un da dediği gibi ‘kalıcı olmak, geleceğe intikal etmek için değil, (daha doğrusu trajik bir şekilde) satılmak için, hem de bir an önce satılmak için’ yaratılan çoğu sanat eserinden farklı. İçten ve otantik. Kısacası, Cenin gelmiş geçmiş en büyük ressamlardan biri ve tarihte Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Leonora Carrington ya da Remedios Varo gibi insanların yanındaki yerini alacak."

Dear friends,
First of all thank you for all love, support and kindness... I've been super busy since the gallery representation. I'm painting everyday & all day. It's like going to bed and waking up next day for painting again. So forgive me if I can't visit your gallery time to time. Dear new friends (watchers), I'll watch you back, don't worry. It's a principle for me to watch back.

Capitalism and religion kill the animals, individuals and society. They can kill you in a variety of ways, slow or quick. There can be no happiness or peace on this planet, no prosperity for the masses, as long as this slavery continues.
