Grego Rolling in Dough 1993

"Grego Rolling in Dough," a 1993 artwork by Turkish artist Burhan Dogancay, depicts a vibrant, multi-layered scene. The central motif is a graffiti-style inscription of the word "GREGO" in bold pink and black lettering. This inscription is situated on a brick wall surface, rendered in a bold, blocky style, and is further emphasized by the surrounding elements. The wall is covered in an eclectic mosaic of dollar bills, various patterned squares, and fragmented text, creating a dynamic and visually rich composition. This work exemplifies Dogancay's signature style, which incorporates elements of pop art, street art, and urban life. His exploration of the interplay between text and image reflects his fascination with the complexities of communication and the power of visual language.
