[HANGING TOUGH] Meral Akyuz

Hanging Tough is a recurring series where we feature cool shit you can hang on your walls—from original paintings from young artists to crazy tapestries that we find on some sketchy site that outsources from India, we want to ensure that your walls will never go bare.

Meral Akyuz, a painter represented by the Agora Gallery in New York, uses mixed media to create incredibly intricate and layered pieces.

I'm not trying to make crazy comparisons here, but the use of color and the linear nature of the pieces remind me of Rauschenberg, and I love me some Rauschenberg. 

Pieces are available for purchase starting at $450 through the Agora Gallery and through the artist herself.
