JD Malat Gallery is honoured to announce the opening of 'All and None' a solo exhibition by Turkish artist Zümrütoğlu (b.1970).
As his third solo exhibition with the gallery on view from the 6th of September to the 7th of October "All and None' marks a significant milestone in Zümrütoğlu's artistic journey. Showcasing his evolution and mastery of visual storytelling and expression, Zümrütoğlu's multidimensional large-scale paintings and sculptures invite viewers into a realm where reality and abstraction coalesce. Functioning as an exploration into the sublime, "All and None" prompts contemplation on the relationships between presence and absence and the ultimate impermanence of being.
Since his earlier work of the 1990's Zümrütoğlu has established himself as one of Turkey's leading emerging artists. Born in Konya, Turkey, in 1970 Zümrütoğlu studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir, Turkey. After finishing his degree in 1996, Zümrütoğlu travelled to Belgium and Holland where he became fascinated with European painting specifically the genres of German expressionism and physical abstraction.
