Arriving in Paris in 1947, Orhon Mubin (1924-1981) immersed himself in the world of French abstract expressionism, captivated by the evolving pictorial practices post-World War II.

The aftermath of war, with its absurdity, doubt, and horror, compelled artists to abandon figurative representation, turning instead to the exploration of emotions, impulses, and the complexities of surface and space-time.
