X-ist will host the sixth solo exhibition by Erkut Terliksiz entitled “Freaks of Nature” between Thursday 4 October and Saturday 10 November, 2018 at its new address at Karaköy Juma. For more information, be sure to keep up to date with the official event page.
From the Organizer:
The sixth solo exhibition by Erkut Terliksiz at x-ist entitled “Freaks of Nature” is shaped by the amorphous figures identified with the artist himself and the colourful reflections of his infinite imagination.
Facing the audience with a narration overflowing the boundaries of the normal, Erkut Terliksiz conveys to the audience in his exhibition his own life and experiences not from a personal perspective but from a point of view that stretches to all times and the whole society. While the artist reinterprets the figure standardized by expectations of perfection and by all normalization and limitations and creates a feeling of opening the doors of a pleasant world at first sight, by using a surrealistic expression, he makes the audience confront with what is avoided as it observes his paintings. By means of the flawed surfaces of found materials that have become the essentials of his technique and the intermingling forms and figures that he conveys to his canvas, Terliksiz invites the audience to explore what is behind the visible and to push the limits of one’s mind.
