Anna Laudel Düsseldorf showcases “Assimilation” by Turkish artist Onur Hastürk, recognised by his combined style of Islamic painting and design with different genres of contemporary art. “Assimilation” is Hastürk’s debut exhibition in Germany, marking the largest display of the artist’s works to date and will be on display between 31st July – 31st October 2020 at Anna Laudel Düsseldorf. Within the exhibition, Hastürk presents his works within 3 compelling series: Respect to Matisse, Respect to Warhol, and Classical Miniature.
A visual artist specialised in the art of classical Ottoman miniature painting, Onur Hastürk pulls freely from the numerous artistic cultures of Islam and places them in new conversations with art of the modern West, from Henri Matisse to Andy Warhol. In doing so, he has created a contemporary Islamic art with a unique attitude and style, generated from these transcultural and transhistorical intercourses.
An exhibition catalogue showcasing works from the exhibition has been published by Anna Laudel, please contact the gallery to obtain one.
