Fallen City II 1982

"Fallen City II," painted in 1982 by Turkish artist Erol Akyavaş (1932-1999), exemplifies his abstract expressionist style. The painting features a vibrant blue background with a cluster of dark, textured shapes that evoke a fallen city. The shapes suggest crumbling buildings, perhaps referencing a destroyed urban landscape, while the vibrant blue background could symbolize hope or a new beginning. Akyavaş's work often explores themes of destruction and renewal, making this painting a compelling visual exploration of these ideas.
