NECMETTİN ÖZLÜ

Galeri Soyut / Çankaya is hosting Necmettin Özlü’s painting exhibition titled “Gizli Gerçekler” in Hall A between November 8 – 27, 2024.

Necmettin Özlü is known for his interest in expressionism and abstract art. A deep admiration and commitment to the structure of nature is felt in his art. In Özlü’s works, the chaotic order and organic forms in nature are frequently abstracted and reinterpreted. These structures are generally expressed with dynamic color palettes and strong brushstrokes that reflect the energetic structure of nature.

This connection between expressionism and abstract art brings emotional intensity to Özlü’s works, while at the same time revealing an artistic language that tries to deeply understand the complexity and beauty of nature. The organic forms frequently used in the artist's work can be seen as a deep internal investigation into the constantly changing and renewing structure of nature.

Özlü’s works offer the viewer the opportunity to establish a personal and emotional connection with nature through an expressionist approach. In this context, his art both serves as a praise to nature and discusses human interactions with nature on an abstract plane.

Necmettin Özlü’s art does not merely depict nature; it also symbolizes a philosophical journey in search of hidden truths. This approach highlights a perspective that seeks intuitive and metaphysical depths in his works. Pursuing the unseen, Özlü builds a new world in his works; this world is like a reflection of the subconscious, inner realities, and cosmic order.

The artist approaches nature and the universe not only physically, but also on a spiritual and intellectual level. Therefore, his art pursues universal truths through expressionist and abstract forms. In his works, he expresses the deep meanings of existence, the traces of universal harmony, and the inner journeys of the human soul in an abstract language.

This new world established by Özlü feels both familiar and alien to the viewer; because while exploring the invisible dimensions of reality, the artist uses an unusual visual language and color palette. This creates a multi-layered art experience that offers art lovers deep contemplation and personal discovery opportunities. Reflecting the desire to go beyond reality, Özlü’s art opens a window to the truths hidden within the unseen.
