Turkish American artist Yücel Dönmez embraces new trend

Turkish motifs inpire Deepism, which the artist says will carry painting to its peak

 Turkish American artist Yücel Dönmez, who has been living in Chicago since 1980, will exhibit a fresh artistic style called Deepism in what American critics say is a new trend in the world of art.  

Dönmez said Deepism, including the aspects of today's conceptual art, would carry the art of painting to its peak. He added that Deepism was also reflected in today's world in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, technology and politics.

Dönmez conveys the feeling of eternity in his work by synthesizing it with the reason for our cosmic existence.   

From traditional Turkish motifs to modern painting:

 American art critics and experts say Dönmez's inspiration comes from Turkish art, which he uses as a base, developing his own style and technique. Chicago Tribune art critic Alan Artner said Dönmez, with his strong technique and style, has created something new in modern painting. “It's like looking at Kandinsky or Klee's work; I don't see traces from any other artist. The same goes for Yücel Dönmez's work; I don't see traces of other artists.”
