About The Artwork

Inspired by a visit to Aphrodisias archeological site in Turkey during the pandemic, during which we had the whole site to ourselves, the painting is based on actual drawings overlooking the site. It is an imaginative reconstruction in the studio, based on memories of the experience and of memories of other places and landscapes. The painting became an odyssey, not unlike my own mythic journey of living in Turkey for two decades. I also was struck by the peaceful and uninhabited co-existence of these ancient ruins together with the vitality of nature continuing life among the ruins. The painting was done with finest quality oil paints including the hand made Wallace Seymour paints ground from natural materials like rock and vine, themselves sometimes sourced from ancient sites. The painting is on primed canvas stretched on a wooden frame. It is unframed.

Diana Page is a South African artist based in Istanbul, Turkey. During 2023 she was selected to take part in Women in Art Fair, Mall Galleries, London and in The Other Art Fair, London. Throughout her career, Diana Page has exhibited her work extensively and has participated in significant events and collaborations. A proud moment was her involvement in a collaborative community project, designing carpets for the Judges' Chambers of South Africa's New Constitutional Court. In 2008 she directed the second in a trilogy of citybased rooftop performances titled "Pitch Blue" in Brooklyn, NYC Diana's work has been showcased in various prestigious venues. The recent touring exhibition 'Walking on a Rim of Light' brought together her artistic trajectory, spanning South Africa and Turkey, interweaving the different strands of her art practice, including drawing, performance, and painting. Notably, the tour featured a museum show at Oliewenhuis in Bloemfontein. Another noteworthy exhibition, 'Trans-Idyllic,' curated by Lewis Johnson in Istanbul, drew connections between Diana's work and post-modern painters such as Sigmar Polke. Furthermore, 'Akıs Flow,' curated by Jochen Proehl at BAUART, presented the flow of Diana's work through a captivating digital presentation of her numerous sketchbooks alongside her paintings. These accomplishments and exhibitions have solidified Diana Page's reputation as an artist who continually explores new artistic territories, diverse creative mediums, and inspires others through her evocative works.
