Expressionist Orchestra Series
In this series, the artist used expressive brush strokes and colors in the expressionist style, inspired by Kandinsky, and asked the question “What would their paintings look like if they were a type of music?” The artist mainly focused on the musicians and their rhythms that she listened to and loved while painting. Thus, he created a series of paintings that portrayed the historically famous and beloved musicians and their performances, as well as the rhythm of their music.
“Music is food for the soul.” The artist, who has been striving to create spiritual and sincere works of art from her heart and soul for many years, is inspired by Kandinsky’s work Concerning the Spiritual in Art. This time, while painting, she is trying to capture the music that nourishes her soul and influences her focus.

Louis Armstrong - Hello Dolly
By Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin
Oil on Canvas
Size: 68 W x 90 H x 0,5 D cm
Since the artist realized that painting is often an orchestration, she named this series “Expressionist Orchestra”.
The artist was inspired by the song “Hello Dolly” that these two giant jazz musicians, Louis Armstrong and Eddie Shu, played live together. Jazz tones turned into colors and the expressionist semi-abstract portraits of the artists emerged very quickly.
The artist presents this work as two separate diptych works.
