Mehmet Uygun - Yeryüzü Zevkleri Bahçesi

The painting series named "Garden of Earthly Delights," consisting of 77 works by Mehmet Uygun, not only showcases his creativity but also his artistic competence and long-term productivity. It depicts fantastical figures blending animals and humans in an alternative world narrative woven with metaphors. Taking its name from the famous triptych of Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) depicting "heaven and hell," the "Garden of Earthly Delights" painting series offers a contemporary perspective on the same conceptual duality five centuries later by an artist. Resembling medieval codices, the appearance of the series makes references to a tradition spanning hundreds of years. Readers of the book containing all the paintings in the series will witness traces of Uygun's childhood, the birth of the fictional world, and shining moments in his artistic life, along with detailed historical information about codices. Highlighting the intersections between codices based on fantastical creatures throughout history and Uygun's "Garden of Earthly Delights" series, the book offers an extraordinary reading experience attempting to narrate the artist and his works through a painting series.
