"Güleryüz established his distinct and vigorous signature painting style by the late 1980's. The main characteristics of his compositional arrangements, spatial structures, paint handling, imagery and content have persisted through his subsequent paintings, and his characteristic urgency and energy have prevailed. In the 1990s, the physical vigor Güleryüz would pour into the paintings, and the volcanic urgency they could radiate back to the viewer, became cataclysmic, even apocalyptic."

"The Garden of Complaints" exhibition opens in Paris on March 14, 2019
Presented at the Cyril Guernieri gallery in November / December 2018, the exhibition "De l'Intérieur" by Mehmet Güleryüz was hailed by the press as a revelation. Regarded as one of the greatest contemporary Turkish artists, Mehmet Güleryüz had, indeed, not exhibited in France since the 80s. The young Paris gallery now offers us to discover his drawings with the exhibition "The Garden of Complaints", that will be presented from March 14 to April 6. And it is, without a doubt, a new revelation!
