Note to the Editors:
Biographies:
Devrim Erbil
He was enrolled in the painting department of the State Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul where he first studied.Devrim's unique painting style caught the attention of an international audience. He was awarded an art scholarship to study painting in Madrid and Barcelona. He later continued his academic career in Paris and London. Devrim was elected Turkey's "Young Artist of the Year" and was awarded the prestigious title of Turkey's State Artist. In addition to his painting career, Devrim also dedicated himself to the development and promotion of the arts in Turkey. Erbil also served as Director of the Istanbul Museum of Painting and Sculpture.
Demir Kardas:
He refers to his works as "Colouring". He is an artist who avoids talking extensively about and defining his works and his process of creating art, without being lost in details. This may be the reason why he simply terms them as "colourings". Whereas, when his art, in his own words, "his colourings" meet the viewing eye, it implies an aesthetical/visual construct far beyond colouring. In the area of art where colours, lines and planes come together, you feel the presence of an infinite universe that moves in its own rhythm based on its own specific principles. Like in all visual constructs, when the viewing eye, in other words, "the observing subject" meets the work of art, many processes, perceptions, sensations open up the door of the world of meanings beyond the visible. The meaning is located there, expecting the viewer with all its potentiality and possibilities.
Murat Germen
He is an experimental artist that often uses photography as his medium. He received a Bachelor of Science in city planning and a Master of Architecture. Germen is a photographer with a strong conceptual message. For him photography is an opportunity to find things that people ignore. He focuses on the ordinary and latent extraordinariness in regularity. He challenges himself to create extraordinary work of things that are perceived as normal. For his series Muta-Morphosis he created bizarre panoramic photographs or multidimensional cityscapes in various places around the world. The concept is the combination of the notions of mutation and metamorphosis. These images are produced by the compression of the horizontal levels.
