Korkut Ulug
( Turkey )

Painting


Korkut Ulug - Paintings Series 3  Painting

The content of Korkut Ulug’s work is very powerful. His large paintings of the eyes of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern state of Turkey, are piercing and deeply moving to me. His paintings are both a homage and a warning to Turkey. By remembering the man, the intensity of his face and eyes, both proud and tragic, Turks must remember what he stood for. The story and vision of Ataturk resonated with me.Personal images become political in the context of historical events. (Frank Shifreen)
