'Erol Yıldır's Horses' exhibition opens

Prof. Dr. Erol Yıldır's exhibition 'Erol Yıldır’s Horses' has been opened. The works exhibited at Gelişim Art Gallery will be open to art lovers until October 30.

From Istanbul Gelisim University, Painter Prof. Dr. Erol Yıldır's solo exhibition titled "'Erol Yıldır's Horses" has been opened at Gelisim Art Gallery.

Making the opening speech of the exhibition and curating the exhibition, Prof. Dr. İsmet Çavuşoğlu states that Painter Erol Yıldır exhibits works suitable for today's art and continues as follows:

“The painter Erol Yıldır's choice of large sizes as a format in all his works, glorifying horses is proof that his love for them is unlimited. Yıldır, while making horse drawings in a scientific framework and systematically, comes before us with determined works as an artist who has examined and evaluated all the horse paintings seen in the history of art. Although the places where the horses are found in Yıldır's paintings are naturally considered as outdoor abstractions, in the end, they are the places where the horses feel free and the best. Although the human figure is not included along with the horses in his paintings, the artist has chosen a narrative that he believes will be monumental, powerful and more effective by keeping the relations with the human in the background.”

The exhibition of Prof. Dr. Erol Yıldır, an important artist and educator who uses the image of a horse in Turkish painting and is completely devoted to horses, will be open to visitors until October 30th.
