About the artist: Born in Manisa in 1926, Akoral first revealed his artistic talent when he was at secondary school. His art teacher, (who was also his neighbour) decided to help develop his gift further. Akoral became a boarding student at Balıkesir Necatibey Training College. In 1946, a dream came true as he went on to study painting at the Gazi Education Institute, Ankara. After graduating in 1949, Akoral worked as an art teacher at high schools and training colleges, which prepared him for future work helping others develop their talent. In 1960, a scholarship took him to America, where he successfully studied graphics at Indiana University. Back at the Institute, the artist was to continue to give lectures on graphics until he retired in 1976. During this period Akoral developed and intensified his style of painting to produce the moving work we know today. Akoral’s first paintings were figurative. The influence of his training is apparent in a style that emanates from the linear order of graphic painting. The work ‘Sığırtmaç’, painted in 1956, is perhaps one of the best examples. Later paintings maintained the graphic fabric appearance and recognisable Akoral style, but also incorporated new elements in the relationshipAkoral believes in the power of paint. The effort to produce work with a strong pattern requires the substructure to be detailed, and diligently painted, so that the finished work can come to the fore. Akoral also experimented with advanced print techniques such as black-and-white wood printing and lino printing between 1957 and 1970, and has included these techniques in his art work. Besides oil paint and various print techniques, the artist also uses watercolour with great skill.
