Abstract:

This study aims to reveal the role and importance of OrhanPeker’s view on art, the subjects he dealt with, the concept of tachism and his works of art in Turkish painting. Within this framework, in order to clarify the subject and to make it more understandable, it was aimed to include different views of writers, artists, and researchers and comparisons of these views in the study. OrhanPeker revealed mediocrity of everyday life in his paintings through his original expression with east-west synthesis. His paintings, in which he also included local characteristics, feature a tachist- expressionist character. The artist, who supported that the important thing in art was “sincerity”, used subjects and techniques that are very different from each other within certain themes and performed these works in different perspectives
