Alp is a versatile artist, especially famous for his sculptures. But what he has been doing all his life is poetry and printmaking. 19 16 He created the first batch of woodcuts and woodcarvings in the collage style of Siam paper. His intaglio print "Wonderful Clown" reflects his abnormal artistic style in sculpture, while his work "Flower" shows his ability to master polysemy: here we can regard "Flower" as a figure with high arms, just like Daphne who is running away.
