Kaotik Manzara Resşmleri
Özet
This thesis titled “Chaotic Landscape Paintings” is limited to “what is chaotic as an image”
in nature landscapes. In the thesis, the destruction that occurs as a result of nature’s own
natural cycle and the chaotic appearances that emerge as a result of the destruction
created by humans on nature are discussed as the main subject. The chaotic appearance
of nature itself and the chaotic appearances that occur as a result of the negative effects
of human inventions on nature have constituted the main forms of the works of many
artists in the history of art, and the chaotic landscape of nature has been interpreted by
artists with different understandings in the process. Chaos in nature is a form of order
based on disorder. Nature constantly disrupts and reorganizes its own order. Natural
disasters such as floods, volcanic and tectonic eruptions, earthquakes, and fires are
examples of chaotic events. Apart from the cyclical chaos of nature, the chaos that occurs
due to human influence began with the Industrial Revolution and the development of
technology. Thus, the chaotic landscapes created by humans in nature have emerged.
Wars, the effects of war machines and nuclear weapons on nature, and the pollution
created by industrialized cities have negatively affected nature and caused its destruction.
In painting, the reflections of chaos in nature and how humans perceive and interpret this
chaotic structure have been reshaped from the perspective of artists. Artists have tried to
discover the order in chaos by reflecting the ever-changing structure of nature in their
works. Chaotic paintings based on appearance have been selected in the works examined
within the scope of the thesis. In the works produced within the context of the subject of
the thesis, the destruction and chaotic appearances created by nature within its own cycle
have come to the fore. In the works where the dynamic appearance of nature has gained
an appearance as a basic form, attention has been drawn mainly to the existence of
destruction and chaos in nature. In addition, objects in the structure of nature and
associated with personal memory have been presented within the landscape appearance
in an attempt to create a holistic meaning. The works produced in different series are
presented under five titles: "Landscape and Personal Use Objects", "Dead Trees Forest and
Peripherals", "Chaotic Anatomy of Spectacular Landscape", "Rhythmic Chaos" and
"Ecological Chaos Landscapes". The chaotic structure of the landscape has been depicted
using different mediums such as classical canvas painting, installation, digital painting, and
video art.
