Defined by a loud palette and a sense of sarcasm, Recep Batuk’s paintings juxtapose mundane objects, vignettes from everyday life with storybook characters and outlandish fantastic elements in seemingly irrelevant combinations that lack a sense of worldly time and place. You can view the paintings exhibited at the Surface show and many other oil paintings and collages at his personal website www.recepbatuk.com

He also worked as a TV and Radio Host, Producer, Writer and Broadcasting Director of the cult show “Siyah Gerisi” at Number One Tv , Radio Ses , Radio Fener , Radio Klas, Istanbul fm between 1995-2001. This is the second American exhibition for Batuk, who continues his art practice at his studio in Beyoglu, Istanbul.
