A Turkish painter, Nuri Iyem is a leading figure in twentieth-century Turkish painting. After an academic training, his work evolved towards a synthesis between figuration and abstraction, but he remains best known for his expressive portraits of women with melancholy eyes and posture, imbued with emotional depth, as suggested by the work we are presenting.
