About Paradox

This abstract sculpture, which can also be installed outside, is painted in a striking black and white. It’s hand forged in steel by Ferhat Özgür Görel. A series of large rectangles are stacked—some upright, others angled to form an intriguing tower. The Turkish artist creates dynamic geometric designs whose form and narrative relate to the challenging environment he grew up in a small village on the Turkish-Georgian border. The title of the piece, Paradox, suggests that what appears to be self-contradictory may, in fact, prove to be true.

“Rectangles of the same color do not touch each other, but opposite colors are intertwined with each other, which symbolizes the idea that opposites create each other, that is, everything exists with its opposite.” Ferhat Özgür Görel

Ferhat Özgür Görel was born in 1990 in Arvin, Turkey near the Georgian border. He studied painting in a Fine Arts program in high school for four years in Ankara. At the Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts, he specialized in Sculpture from 2008 to 2013. After completing a nine-year art education in 2013, he began participating in international organizations, festivals, and symposiums. Görel has created 21 sculptures for public spaces in 13 different countries, including France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Russia, South Korea, Egypt, Italy, Romania, Spain, Turkey, Iran, Belarus, and Canada.
