Necdet Kalay; An Original Painting Master: In Necdet Kalay's works, there is an atmosphere that draws us into the painting, soothes us and, frankly, gives us peace. The fact that he works in a style that gives the impression of leaving the canvas partially blank provides this effect. His landscapes, which do not give much space to details in the Impressionist style, emphasize color contrasts, and work with fast brush strokes, are usually painted in front of nature. Necdet Kalay was also criticized for being a productive artist. It is a good thing that he worked fast and hard in a short lifetime and left us these beautiful works; and without reminding us of another artist evoked by his unique style...

Necdet Kalay
Necdet Kalay (1932 - 1986)
Necdet Kalay was born in Istanbul in 1932. After completing his primary and secondary education in Istanbul, he started his art education by taking lessons from sculptor Faruk Morel and painter Şeref Akdik. Between 1954 and 1957, he attended classes as a guest student at the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts, now known as Mimar Sinan University Faculty of Fine Arts.
In 1958, one of his paintings was accepted to the Fine Arts Union Exhibition held in Ankara and thus his artistic life began. He opened his first solo exhibition in Istanbul in 1960. From 1969 onwards, he stopped doing other jobs and started to earn his living entirely by painting. He sold many paintings in this period when the interest of collectors in Turkey shifted towards local painters. He participated in many exhibitions in Turkey and abroad. In the 1970s, he decided to continue his painting studies abroad. In his paintings with a predominantly decorative aspect, Kalay depicted Anatolian landscapes with broad brush strokes. The impressionist artist preferred to use mostly gray tones and pastel colors. Necdet Kalay passed away in 1986 in Istanbul.
