Ogulcan Surmeli

Oğulcan Sürmeli(b.95) practices on "meaning" in his works. Various productions of the artist can be evaluated as an expression of the spirit. Examining the loss of meaning caused by the divine reflection of human is a fundamental issue for the artist.

Sürmeli strengthens the infrastructure technically in those disciplines with which discipline he will be able to directly transfer the connections it establishes with regard to spirit and daily life. Thus, he creates artistic evaluations by subjecting the experiences and values ​​of the geography he is in and turning it into metaphors.

By virtue of their unlikely pairing, Sürmeli weighs the daily life image against the painted image, unpacking their inherent value systems and adjusting his practice to mirror the collective nous of his subjects and the plastic spaces they inhabit.

The plastic language of the artist, offers a perspective where we can also relate figuratively to the reality behind what appears on the city streets with issues that are prevented - indirectly - from thinking. Sürmeli continues to produce plastic arts in Bodrum and Istanbul now.
