Mixed Media, Digital on Canvas
Size: 16 W x 16 H x 0.1 D in
My collages are a showcase of the world that is willing to go on pretending that everything is normal and the harsh realities that many – even some of those offering compassion – would be happy to sweep under the rug. But I believe my art provided the perspective that could not be ignored anymore, for both sides! Parallel Universe is a division between comfort and privilege of consumerist society and the consequences of inequality felt by millions of disenfranchised people. We will use the print earnings to publish my book 'Parallel Universe - Peace | War' collaborating with some of the world's biggest human rights and refugee non-profit organizations. Details will be shared once we have enough funding to publish the book.

Turkey
In 2015, the image of a drowned Syrian boy gripped the planet's attention, giving a human face to the conflict which drove away so many people towards an uncertain fate. Turkey felt the full weight of human suffering, giving shelter to more than three and a half million refugees. Uğur Gallenkuş, an ordinary citizen living in Istanbul felt the need to act, to help, to make a difference: and he did it the best way he could – through his unique blend of expression. Today, the world knows Uğur as the artist behind the stories told through his digital collages. In reality, he is a business-school graduate leading an ordinary life when tragedy struck in Syria. He knew nothing about digital art, but he started learning about design programs from online sources. A white-collar worker by day turned into a self-taught digital artist by night. In fact, after all the success that happened, he still leads a simple life, working his daily job. He cannot explain what brought his artistic side so suddenly to the spotlight – everything happened as if by divine design. He felt a purpose that could not be denied and saw how to start a unique conversation between two seemingly completely opposite scenes.
