Artist Oktay Anılanmert's exhibition awaits visitors at İş Sanat Ankara Art Gallery, located in the Türkiye İş Bankası Economic Independence Museum building.
The exhibition of artist Oktay Anılanmert, who generally interprets the values of the human element and life issues that are disappearing in today's world in his paintings, was opened at İş Sanat Ankara Art Gallery, located in the Türkiye İş Bankası Economic Independence Museum building.
This exhibition of the artist, who passed away in 2018, includes a selection of his exhibitions opened in previous years. Known for his patterns and predominantly white paintings, Anılırmert meets his visitors this time with more colorful works in which the movement comes to the fore, arising from his work in Boston.
Oktay Anılanmert, who started to take part in international exhibitions, biennials, shows and domestic artistic events in the 1960s, generally uses abstract-surreal, minimalist expressions in his paintings, sometimes with humor and sometimes with a critical approach. These actions, which stand out with their contrasts, are loaded with connotations about life.
As can be seen in the artist's paintings, figures that mix and merge with each other sometimes direct and drag each other. This attitude and understanding of form was also reflected in the pantomime plays he wrote and staged. It is seen that the short and concise expressions in the pantomime, the intertwined body language and game themes are re-pictured and feed each other, and they play an important role in the formation of Oktay Anlanmert's artistic personality. A versatile artist, Oktay Anılanmert's creativity can be observed not only in painting, but also in large arrangements, fresco applications, metal works, mosaic panels, pantomime texts and plays.
It is possible to visit Oktay Anılanmert's works free of charge at the Ankara Art Gallery, located on the 3rd floor of the Türkiye İş Bankası Economic Independence Museum in Ankara Ulus.
