A master of colour and perception, Turkish artist, Emre Namyeter's mesmerizing abstractions work to further Art History's study of optical effect. His artworks are layered with vivid homemade paints, carefully placed to create enchanting compositions and hypnotic patterns that encourage inner contemplation. Namyeter's newest series "Now I See, or Do I?" fosters a world of visual possibility. Meaning is not predetermined but instead dictated by each individual's lived experience. In an abandonment of intellectual inaccessibility, Namyeter prioritizes audience perception, centering viewer experience and contemplation as integral moments in his work. "As information passes through our senses, we recognize an order and link it to our personal experiences to help us define what we know to be true. However, through this process, we tend to see and understand things not as they are, but as we are.” — Emre Namyeter
