“By abstracting the old streets and slums, my paintings try to reflect the Istanbul that has been changing ever since my childhood.”

The RGI Kelly Gallery is delighted to welcome Turkish artist Sule Ceylan. This is the first time that Sule has exhibited in the UK.

Surface to Depth features bold paintings reflecting the dramatic changes in Sule’s home city of Istanbul, where she has worked as an artist since 1999, exhibiting in galleries such as the Ortakoy Cultural Centre, the Bakrac Art Gallery, as well as winning several awards.

Sule Ceylan's latest art exhibition

Sule Ceylan's latest personal art exhibition will be open from 15th to 26th May 2012 at Royal Glasgow Institute's Kelly Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. The opening reception will take place on 17th May from 5 pm to 7 pm.

Here's the short description from Kelly Gallery's website:

"These bold paintings reflect the changes in the artist’s home city of Istanbul. A frequent visitor to Glasgow and the RGI Kelly, Sule was particularly keen to exhibit in the gallery. In this exhibition, Sule says that she has tried to portray the unseen or flipside of Istanbul as opposed to the more familiar image of the city. 'By abstracting the old streets and slums, my paintings try to reflect the Istanbul that has been changing ever since my childhood.'”
