Chinatown Series by Mehmet Gozetlik

For his Chinatown series, Mehmet Gözetlik recreates well-known Western logos with the view to reflect our branded world through Chinese letters, while using a classical ‘neon sign’ style he associates with China. By using basic words for translation, such as ‘Caramel Macchiato’ for ‘Starbucks’ and ‘Car’ for ‘Ford’ in order to maintain a visual continuity, he replaces the English words we’re used to seeing with the Chinese translation of the products being sold. The result is a carefully arranged series of works with a clear visual narrative.
