Turkey, the bridge between continents, the meeting point of East and West, has witnessed many golden ages of art throughout the centuries. Today it is once again home to an extraordinarily vibrant contemporary art scene.
Internationally recognized artists such as Kutlug Ataman and Hussein Chalayan are relentlessly pushing boundaries while others such as Hale Tenger, Taner Ceylan, irfan Onurmen, Banu Cennetoglu, Ahmet Ogut, Canan Tolon, Omer Ali Kazma, Haluk Akakge and Ramazan Bayrakoglu are producing works of breathtaking beauty, political edge and great conceptual depth. Yet these represent only the tip of the iceberg.
