Murat Ural english version

For Neşet Günal, drawing is the main road that brings him to the painting that is his destination. Far more than being simply a preparatory stage before painting, drawing is one of the constituent elements of the painting. One could even go a bit further and say it is in fact the painting itself, challenging the arbitrary boundary between the one and the other.
