Art in Istanbul , Galerist new exhibition

Galerist is pleased to present Merve Morkoç’s solo exhibition titled ‘2+1’ from 17 April to 17
May 2014. The recent works of Morkoç springs from the experience of being a two bedroom (2+1) home owner and in time morphing into an everyday item similar to a lifeless object such as a sofa decorated with traditional embroidery or a table cloth… Using a variety of
techniques and materials, the artist reflects the disruption of the relationship between the figure and its living space and gathers beauty and foulness in harmony on the same body and
surface.
Merve Morkoç’s paintings are inspired by the culture and life of the streets, where she feels independent. For her, the internet, streets, gallery walls, paper and materials of any size can easily turn into an effective medium. In this context, the artist is enthused by animation figures, commercials and narrative styles of urban origin that surround her.
