NUR GÜREL
1980 İstanbul doğumlu Nur Gürel, 2004 yılında lisans eğitimini Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi, Resim Bölümü’nde, yüksek lisans eğitimini, 2007’de yine aynı okulda tamamladı.
Nur Gürel, toplumu tüketim toplumu haline getiren tüm dayatmalar ve onların sonuçlarıyla ilgilenir. Bu konuda en büyük enstrümanı manipülasyondur. Önceki çalışmalarda, malzeme olarak dekorasyonda kullanılan manzara resimli duvar kağıtlarnı kullanırken, son dönem işlerinde bu hazır görsel imajlara, fotoğraflar,dergiler, posterler ve billboard reklamları da malzeme olarak dahil olur. İç-dış, fotoğraf-resim, dijital baskı-pentür, kent -orman, zayıf- şişman gibi zıtlıklar kullanarak işlerinde gerilim oluşturmayı hedefler. İmaja, dijital değil özellikle primitif bir duyarlılıkla, elle müdahale eder. Bu şekilde, sterilize reklam dili kırılır, doğallaşır. Konular manipüle edilmek istenen şeye göre değişir. Önceki dönem işlerde, yoğun kentsel dönüşüm çalışmalarıyla ilgili manipülatif tespitler gerçekleştirilirken, şimdi reklam dili işlerin kavramsal temelini oluşturmaktadır. Sanatını,görsel imaj üzerine manipülasyon olarak niteleyen Gürel, İstanbul da yaşamakta ve üretmektedir.
Nur Gürel born in Istanbul in 1980. Lives and works in Istanbul.
Received B.A. (1999) and M.F.A. (2003) from Painting Department, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul.
Nur Gürel is interested in all impositions that render the society into a consumption society and their results. Her biggest instrument on this subject is manipulation. While she used landscape picture wallpapers as material in decoration in previous work, she included photographs, magazines, posters and billboard advertisings to this ready visual images in the late work. She aims to create tension in her work by using contrasts such as inside-outside, photo-painting, digital printing-painting, town-forest, thin-fat. It intervenes the image with a primitive sensitivity and hands rather than digitally. In this way, sterilized advertising language is broken and becomes natural. Subjects vary according to what is desired to be manipulated. Gürel, describing her art as a manipulation on visual image, lives in Istanbul and continues to create.
