Yücel Dönmez: The Movement of Color

Yücel Dönmez: The Movement of Color

When we get a little closer to the works of Yücel Dönmez, we see elements of traditional Turkish art forms such as Ottoman calligraphy, Tura (signature of the sultan on Ottoman calligraphy), decorative art, ornamentation and above all, traditional Turkish marbling and weaving.

Dönmez's Butterflies present an example of contemporary Turkish painting by masterfully mixing his own culture with the contemporary synthesis of the West.

Rosenthal Fine Art is pleased to present the artist's recent works.

Dönmez's works can be found in private collections, museums and public spaces around the world. Throughout his career, he has created works

for the University of Chicago, Chicago's Grant Park Land Art in 1993 and most recently, at Contemporary Istanbul.

Yücel Dönmez was born in 1946 in Kars,Turkey.

He currently lives in Chicago and Istanbul.
