Duruman’s works features a commonality as they all inhabit interior spaces. Drawing on the concept of home as the synthesis of physical and social representation, Duruman strives to transcend this socio-spatial construct by introducing an additional layer: one’s authentic self. The bodies painted by Duruman show a distinctive amorphous pattern with thick layers of paint; this brings to mind the layers in the flow of life where individuals have to conceal their authentic selves in the outside world. As a stable and familiar space, home becomes emblematic of the only environment where the constraints of societal norms can be cast aside, allowing us to embrace our true selves without inhibition. Walking through the exhibition, confronting the large-scale oil paintings featuring significant body parts invites the viewers to reckon with themselves while also seeking the possibilities to open new discussion spaces for crucial topics.
