"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 Secret Portraits and Others" at Gallery 11.17
A selection of drawings and paintings of Mehmet Güleryüz, one of the leading names of Turkish contemporary art, will be exhibited at Gallery 11.17. The work of the artist invites the audience to reexamine and reflect on the mundane, the routine, a sort of guided journey into the here and now, leaving the viewer with a new perspective from which to reexamine their surroundings. The exhibition brings together figurative and portrait works created between 2000-2019. Mehmet Güleryüz's drawings contain the artist's inner world, observations and fantastic images realised with the artist's unique style.
