Ekrem Yalcindag is one of the most important contemporary Turkish artists. In his impasto paintings, he combines a modern, abstract pictorial approach with traditions from countries east of Turkey. For the Bank Austria Kunstforum in Vienna, the renowned curator Robert Fleck is organizing Yalcindag's largest solo exhibition to date, which focuses on three new series of works that have never been shown institutionally before. This publication presents them for the first time: the monochrome Tondi, the Infinity Paintings with their subtle, sometimes magical spaces of color, and the large-format series Natures. Created especially for the exhibition, these paintings contain Yalcindag's typical structure of small, stylized flowers as well as oversized floral motifs and wooden structures, which the artist applies to the canvas using screen and wood printing.
