It is seen that the reactive expression, which is constantly in the approach of Gülay Yaşayanlar in the paintings of the series Glamour, has started to be replaced by a more purified, idealized form and relatively more conceptual expression. The basic dynamics of this understanding have not changed, but a production focusing on the reality of painting discussing the possibilities of visual language has been given priority. Thus, it is possible to describe this conceptual concept of visual field, which is established with a panoramic view on the horizontal axis, as the mature productions of a distinctive process with palimpsestic accents. The Glamour paintings, arranged in original interpretations, become clear as the decisive inferences of the conflicting determination, erasure-destruction or appropriation process caused by psychic factors and the intensity of thought, and how an aesthetic transformation will dominates the forms-formal relations in a way that preserves the current tension and energy. shows.
