Nuri İyem (1915 - 2005)
"Still Life"
Still Lifes: Among İyem's paintings, still lifes should be the least produced. These works appear as fruit compositions in the transition to the abstract period. Afterwards, objects such as fruits and pitchers are incorporated into abstract practices by transforming into geometric abstract expressions. After the 1960s, flowers gain prominence. At the core of all subjects are Nuri İyem's original creations. This is an art story whose foundations were laid in the 1940s. It is the assimilation of pattern, color and line in a unique style. These paintings are examples of an adventure in which the abstract is identified with the concrete and the symbol is embedded in the essence of expression.
