Gülay Semercioglu is a Turkish artist working from her studio in Istanbul, Turkey. She trained as a painter and was awarded Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Mimar Sinan University in 1994.
Traditional Anatolian motifs are singled out and elevated across the artist’s practice, and these symbols of family unity, happiness, health, fertility and protection, offer clues and insight, telling the story of Anatolian family life. More recently, İznik tiles and Anatolian-Seljuk motifs, geometric forms and cultural symbols, appear prominently in her works - highlighted in her unique wire-woven kilims.

Walking on Wire 10 May - 28 Jun 2014 IstanbulWalking on the Wire is a presentation of new work by Gülay Semercioğlu, a Turkish artist who plays with our perceptions of light, perspective, depth and colour. Walking on the Wire presents a series of new pieces that exemplify the more sculptural aspects of her recent work. During the exhibition the gallery's lights will be dimmed and its walls and floor changed to a near-black hue, creating a dark and shadowy space in which spotlights will illuminate how Semercioğlu's glossy, satin surfaces draw light in, bending and refracting it.Read more
