EXHIBITION
The Stormy prose adventure of Selim İleri, the master and leading figure of Turkish literature, was transformed into paintings with the brush of Ali Kotan, the master painter of Turkish painting. Ali Kotan's paintings were interpreted by the master writer Selim İleri with special short texts.
