Cyclops 1967

"Cyclops" (1967) by Ozdemir Atlan is an abstract artwork that features a dynamic composition of swirling red and black forms. The artwork's title suggests a connection to the mythological figure, whose single eye is perhaps reflected in the circular forms within the painting. Atlan was known for his use of bold colors and gestural lines, creating a sense of energy and movement. The painting is a powerful example of Atlan's artistic style, which often drew inspiration from ancient cultures and symbolism.
