Taner Ceylan: Still Life in Painting
Together 115x180cm – oil on canvas / June, 2007
Taner Ceylan is a Turkish painter. He lives in his flat in solitude outside the city center of Istanbul and invests tremendous labor in his hyperrealist works. He has a very emotional relationship to his paintings too – Sometimes he falls in love with them, sometimes he cries out of frustration when a tiny detail does not work out. In an interview with BUTT Magazine, he says he takes his inspiration from happiness and adds ‘I must enjoy my process because it takes ten hours a day, for weeks and months.’ The artist takes photographic images as a starting point and digitally enlarges these, manipulating them as he works in oil on canvas with the purpose of injecting ‘emotion’ into his work.

Music Ticker: Robyn/Diplo, Dirtbag Journalism, Enjoyed: A Tribute To Björk, The Drums, Yeasayer
+++ A few minutes ago CATCH FIRE contributor Max Mohenu has posted this link to a new song by Robyn on his awesome music blog Dirtbag Journalism, a site I highly want to recommend here. The song is called “Dancehall Queen” and it’s produced by Diplo. Thanks, Max! +++ +++ This may not be big news for a lot of you, but it’s still worth being posted: In 2008 the music blog Stereogum has released “Enjoyed: A Tribute To Björk’s Post” featuring cover versions of indie bands/projects like the Dirty Projectors, Xiu Xiu, Final Fantasy and others. It can be downloaded for free here +++ +++ There’s a new, pretty charming video by The Drums. I’ve been waiting for some time now to find the right moment to post it on the blog, but it feels as if this moment has passed by. Still, you can watch it here, and it’s worth the click +++ +++ This is the fancy new video for Yeasayer‘s “O.N.E.”. Join the hipster party: +++
