urat Pulat, one of the most sought after contemporary
artists in Turkey of recent years, opens his first solo show
in continental Europe in the Netherlands on 4th October
2015. Pulat has captured the attention of collectors from around
the world with the inclusion of his works in international auctions
between the years 2011 and 2014. During this time, he became
one, if not maybe the first, young Turkish artist to be widely sought
after. The great interest shown in his works over the past four
years since 2011 begat at Contemporary Istanbul, the region’s
premier art fair, which has been the primary reason for his
increased fame inside and outside Turkey. Additionally, Pulat’s
solo show in New York in January 2014 was a big success. His art
pieces are particularly inspired by movie sequences of new wave
overture directors. By reproducing these scenes on canvas, he
truely incorporates these images into life. Surface-Sequence is a
large-scale show comprising Pulat’s most recent works. Each
work is both calm, passionate and vivid.
