Turkish Artists Online
Here's some more artists by country. I've gone looking for artists in Turkey this time, so I hope most of them are new to people.
I spent a while in Turkey and found it interesting how a lot of artists seemed to embrace elements of both the east and the west, just as their largest city, Istanbul straddles both the east and west. Here's some paintings I did of Turkey a few years ago too.

- Gizem Saka - She is an interesting artist that I mentioned here before.
- Orhan Taylan - An establish Turkish master painter producing nice figurative works.
- Ismail Acar - Realist Turkish painter influenced by the Sufi poet Rumi and the Whirling Dervishes.
- Nevin Cokay - Istanbul based figurative painter of slightly quirky works.
- Melvlut Akyildiz - Painter and sculptor with a sense of humor and very interesting paintings.
- Can Goknil - Turkish painter and book illustrator using themes of mythology, fantasy, and history.
- Elcin Unal - Artist moving between abstraction and figuration quite easily.
- Erkan Genis - Turkish artist painting impressionist works.

I loved exploring Nevin Cokay's work. It is great to see lists of artists from other countries. It is interesting to see how the culture impacts their work.
I'm very glad to see that although minimal, there is interest in the Turkish art scene. Could I recommend to any one interested that they check out some of the more contemporary Turkish artists and galleries? First it would be a big mistake to make a list and not include one of the most important living painters in Turkey today Mehmet Guleryuz www.mehmetguleryuz.com
