Nur Gürel

Nur Gürel completed bachelor`s degree at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Department of Painting in 2004, and her master`s degree at the same school in 2007.
Nur Gürel deals with all the impositions that turn society into a consumer society and their consequences. The biggest instrument in this regard is manipulation. While in previous works, wallpapers with landscape images used for decoration were used as materials, later photographs, magazines, posters and billboard advertisements were also included in these ready-made visual images. She aims to create tension in her works by using contrasts such as inside-outside, photography-painting, digital print-painting, city-forest, thin-fat. She intervenes in the image , not digitally, but with a particularly primitive sensitivity. In this way, the sterilized advertising language is broken and becomes natural. Topics vary depending on what is intended to be manipulated
