Gürbüz Doğan Ekşioğlu - Love is Said to Be...

Rectorate Building İnan Kıraç Hall

One could write pages on Gürbüz Doğan Ekşioğlu’s appreciation of art, he is an artist, graphic designer, cartoonist and illustrator. However, if you ask me, his mystery is embedded in the poetry in his artwork as he is almost like a hunter of emotions… a hunter of emotions who fearlessly follows the scent of them describing human feelings in his own plain style. It is his emphasis on understanding, questioning, living and cherishing. That is the reason for his work being so deep, humanistic and universal. The level of imagination in his works lets viewers of his art form their own various impressions. Gürbüz Doğan Ekşioğlu is as a philosopher in this sense. This is why ones who discover his art will certainly become infected by a colour, a verse, an idea and a feeling in his work. A cat is not just a cat, a piegon is not just a piegon, stairs are not just stairs… This is how it is in his art and his own words.
