about the artist
After being involved in many national and international solo and group exhibitions, Altan gradually formulated the concept of developing a method of proving in three dimensions the coincidental confluence of different artistic media derived from multifarious ideas, roots, structures and rationales. As a result, in large scale works with contributions from a large number of people, he showed that thousands of coincidental details can, without any conscious attempts to meld them into a whole, form a seemingly inevitable unity of design, form, harmony of colour, composition and rhythm. Using this method the artist opened up an unlimited wealth of expression.
