Türkan Elçi (XX - Cosmic Dreams #01

Türkan Elçi is a Turkish painter, printmaker, and ceramic artist born in İzmir, Turkey in 1954. She is widely recognized for her abstract art, printmaking, and unique visual styles that explore continuous artistic research. • Ceramics: Between 1994 and 1999, she pursued formal art training at the Ünal Cimit Ceramics Atelier, honing her skills in spatial shapes and textures. • Painting: In 2001, she shifted her primary focus toward painting, collaborating with Asst. Prof. Dr. Sedat Balkır under the auspices of the Association of Painting and Sculpture Museums (Resim Heykel Müzeleri Derneği). Elçi’s motto is that painting should remain a medium for constant visual and technical research. She often works with a variety of multimedia elements, textures, and techniques to abstract industrial and maritime themes—most notably her frequent thematic focus on seaports and coastal construction. Over the decades, she has actively organized and participated in national and international exhibitions. Her prominent projects include: • Solo Exhibition: "Construction" at the Untitled Gallery (2017). • International Showcases: She has showcased her printmaking and visual arts across various international spaces, including the Kunst Grenzen Gallery in Trento, Italy (2025) and the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) in Thailand (2026).
