Mehmet Cevik
Biography
Mehmet Çevik is a contemporary artist based in Istanbul, Turkey. Having graduated from Anadolu University in 2009, Çevik set out to work in Istanbul, establishing his own private studio in which he paints to this day. Çevik depicts eccentric and psychologically informed compositions that harbour a deep sense of mystery, illusions and pseudo realism.
Çevik uses a vivid colour palette, using various tones and hues to strengthen the overall atmosphere of his compositions. The depictions at face value offer an elusive and psychedelic presence, with figures posed in eccentric garments, adorned with abnormal features, and landscapes imbued with otherworldly symbolism.
