Publishers: Revolver Publishing, Berlin and Galeri Artist, Istanbul.
In this book, Conceptual Colors, Marcus Graf has probed deeply into the thought processes behind Gülan’s art to bring out intricate, yet totally meaningful details. The ‘colors’ they spread before the reader have many tones, many nuances, sometimes resplendent sometimes diluted, but always intriguing. Now one can only ponder as to how this conceptual rainbow will continue to expand and multiply. (Nancy Atakan, 2010.)
