I am very pleased to see the photographic work by mur58. Murat is a true, creative artist, very talented. It can give to see its city, the modernity of this one, the glimpse of his friends, its attentive glances about cats. Its work of painter, calligraphy, sketchbook, gouaches, drawings are as many images artistic and poetic to discover. Take time to visit these images, a true visit of his country.

I like the “generosity” apparent in Murats’ line and the manner in which he infuses lyricism while advocating “honesty" in every aspect of his drawn subjects and objects. The application of letterforms in some of the drawings, harken towards a calligraphy that renders form to a form—is a poetic approach indeed; analogo… Read more

I like the “generosity” apparent in Murats’ line and the manner in which he infuses lyricism while advocating “honesty" in every aspect of his drawn subjects and objects. The application of letterforms in some of the drawings, harken towards a calligraphy that renders form to a form—is a poetic approach indeed; analogous to concrete poetry!"

His work is at once quirky, playful and insighful, yet also inquisitive, explorative and searching. I like the way his hand clearly communi… Read more

What happens if you paint with Coca-cola? How about green-tea? Mur58 is the type of artist whose insatiable curiosity seeks him to find out, and I love looking at the results. His work is at once quirky, playful and insighful, yet also inquisitive, explorative and searching. I like the way his hand clearly communicates what his on his mind with a lightness of touch and economy of line which is always refreshing and exciting, and reminds me of Brancusi, Matisse and Boccioni. He is also generous with his time, as seen by his favourites list. Once you recognize his little smiling icon, you start seeing it everywhere, giving encouragment and support wherever he goes, and you feel rather lucky he visited, all the way from Turkey.
