"ÖMER ULUC" PORTRAIT
ERDOGAN KARAYEL
TURKISH PAINTER ÖMER ULUC PASSED AWAY
IN ISTANBUL ON THURSDAY...
Uluc
was born in Istanbul in 1931.
He studied high school at the Robert
College and
made his undergraduate degree in engineering
at the
Istanbul University between 1949 and 1953.
Meanwhile, he started to
work on painting at the Nuri Iyem workshop.
He studied engineering and
later painting in Texas,
Boston and New York during 1950s, and held his
first personal
exhibition in Boston in 1955.
He lived in London
and Paris between 1965-1966 and
moved to the United States, Mexico and
Nigeria.
He installed himself to Paris in 1983.
Many exhibitions in
various cities, particularly in Paris,
Berlin and Istanbul,
participation in a number of biennials and
numerous awards are among
his artistic achievements.
Inspired by the traditional Turkish
calligraphy,
Uluc created a unique contemporary style by means of
abstracting figures and forms.
His work offers up a defiant sense of
fantasy as it navigates the space
between abstraction and
representation and often relies on rope imagery,
calling to mind a
wealth of conceptual associations.
He used diverse materials not
bounding his work with canvas painting.
79-year-old Uluc, who
was also the spouse of Turkish writer and
columnist Vivet Kanetti, had
been treated against lung
cancer for the last two years.
