The young painter Yesim Akdeniz Graf combines different painting genres. Her work is known for covering futuristic themes.

For her second solo exhibition at Galerie Fons Welters, Yesim Akdeniz Graf presents us with her own version of a soap story, singling out certain characters and suggesting their mutual relationships.

Yesim Akdeniz Graf has constructed her exhibition The New Professionals as a storyboard for a TV series. Each scene reveals part of a character’s life, and in the context of the exhibition it prompts us to guess at the mutual relations: intrigues, awakening loves, and broken hearts. Each character stands alone, not just in relation to the others, but also, in a sense, in relation to reality.
