In Tülin Akkaş’s works, a representation of a world that is intertwined, opposing, and sometimes feeding each other, with no boundaries beyond reality is presented, while the artist acts with the reflection of the objective reality she perceives in her mind. While imagination opens the doors to escape from reality, she defines her works as the journey of her inner discoveries in the lands where she wanders freely in her imagination, reflected on the surfaces. In this journey, there is a search for serenity as well as the intensity of chaos. Each layer makes visible a process in which the artist confronts her own existence, struggles with dead ends and eventually reaches serenity. The works invite the viewer to question her own inner reality and step into the colorful chaos of her imaginary world. The exhibition offers a glimmer of hope to everyone walking this tightrope on their own journey.
Tülin Akkaş began her journey in painting with the training she received in the studios of important artists such as Ekrem Kahraman, Barış Sarıbaş, Turan Aksoy and Neriman Polat between 2000-2015. The artist’s works examine the power of coincidence on the axis of abstraction, while aiming to establish a deep connection between figures and objects. Her multi-part works invite the viewer to a journey between these two extremes by questioning the delicate balance between chaos and serenity.
Akkaş, who has participated in many group exhibitions since 2004, attracted attention with her first solo exhibition in Istanbul in 2010. She is preparing to offer a new perspective to art lovers with her 4th solo exhibition “THRESHOLD” (On the Threshold of Truth and Dream), which will meet the audience at Galeri Deniz between February 6 - February 23, 2025 and curated by Nuray Özler Yolcu. Tülin Akkaş, who still continues her production in her own workshop, continues to deepen her artistic journey by focusing on discovery and awareness in her paintings.
