Old Ankara

"Old Ankara" by Burhan C. Doğançay captures the rich urban fabric of the Turkish capital, blending elements of cityscape with his signature focus on walls and textures collected over decades. Doğançay, a Turkish-American artist renowned for documenting urban environments, often integrates layers of peeling paint, posters, and graffiti, creating a visual narrative of city life. While his work is influenced by various art movements, it subtly echoes the emotive qualities of Impressionism in its capturing of fleeting moments. "Old Ankara" invites viewers to explore the city's evolving identity through a textured, vibrant lens of urban history.
