He is best known for his various series of paintings inspired by urban walls. To Dogançay, walls are a testament to the passage of time, reflecting social, political, and economic change. They also bear witness to the assault of the elements and to the markings left by passers-by. No other artist has explored urban walls more thoroughly and with the same passion as Burhan Dogançay.- Dogançay is the recipient of many awards. His work appears in numerous publications and is represented in the collections of the world’s most prestigious museums, including Albertina, Viernna, The British Museum, London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Guggenheim Museum, New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.
