The "Forever Young" exhibition presents a curated selection of Kerem Durukan’s works created between 2019 and 2021, revealing both the formal richness and captivating aesthetic of his oeuvre. The curatorial framework hinges on a triadic division—works on paper, paintings on canvas, and tapestries—to unveil the artist’s distinct approaches across diverse media and techniques.
Durukan’s body of work, informed by his background in art, graphic design, and industrial design, imparts a singular quality to his practice that transcends conventional aesthetics. The profoundly experimental nature of his output establishes its enduring resonance within contemporary art. His bold and innovative deployment of materials, textures, and colors achieves an authenticity, individuality, and originality seldom encountered today.
Kerem Durukan’s oeuvre encompasses abstract compositions, animal and floral sequences, still lifes, portraits, and collage-based paintings. A deft balance consistently defines his work—poised between figuration and abstraction, expressionism and illustration. His compositions testify to a masterly capacity for synthesizing heterogeneous aesthetics and divergent artistic traditions into multilayered tableaus that mirror the pluralistic, eclectic condition of contemporary culture and society. Echoing our earthly chaos through their layered structures, they simultaneously capture the vital, kinetic pulse of today's artistic landscape.
Upon his passing, Kerem Durukan left behind a formidable body of work destined to inspire emerging generations of artists. His legacy and creations endure not only in the minds and hearts of his loved ones, but also across the wider art community, leaving an indelible imprint on fellow creators. It is precisely for this reason that Kerem Durukan and his art will remain forever young.
