Gulgun (Gigi) TurkerMike Minehart. Due to the popularity of her vast body of work, GIGI will be featured through the month of June. Even if you saw her show in May, be sure to attend the June showcase, as she will be featuring a different collection of her art. THE ARTIST :: GULGUN (GIGI) TURKER
Classically trained in Turkey, Gigi’s work has been exhibited at galleries, festivals, and museums internationally, as well as purchased by private collectors.

“Gulgun (Gigi) Turker’s art elicits an immediate emotional response,” notes one critic. “A moment in time is stopped, a familiar face revealed, the grace and beauty of a body frozen in time. The viewer becomes more than the observer, he becomes a participant in the drama unfolding before his eyes.”

There’s something absolutely gorgeous about Gigi’s paintings. It’s how she effortlessly blends different mediums together, transitioning between acrylic and crystal beads to create beautiful pieces of art. She paints beautiful women who not only have style and class but seem to hold a sacred secret.
