Artist Statement: Aesthetic, grace and depth constitute the main axis at all times! "...Gurel is not only an artist, but also an ambassador. He puts his life and culture before us, and takes us on journeys far deeper and more profound that we could imagine. He allows us into his timeless vistas and we catch a glimpse of his thought and philosophy. The visual arts are made for our eyes, but Peyami Gurel touches our minds and hearts as well. He opens the door for us to dream." - Paul Lorenz We are making this exhibition with a selection of artist’s works from all his periods. We aim for you to witness the artist’s own process again from the perspective of his own historicity.
