SOLO EXHIBITION

“Gilded Ruin”, the solo exhibition of Fulya Asyalı is ready to meet the audience at Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery between September 13 – November 1, 2022. 

The Gilded Ruin is a mood fed by a feeling of resistance and transformation rather than anger against the pessimism that is spread by political and environmental disasters and various dramatic scenes that surround the genre image of our lives. The gilded details that create contrast in the grayness of the present conditions remind us of the permanence of the lyric and divine one, even amid impermanence and destruction.

While carefully avoiding the quiet and fragile freedom of one single room in her soul from the clamor of the material world, the artist undertakes the role of an alchemist, and, as expressed by Baudelaire in “Flowers of Evil”, turns mud into gold.

Angels dressed in gold, purple, and hyacinth,
O you, witness that I have done my duty
Like a competent alchemist, like a sacred soul,
I have extracted the quintessence of every single thing, 
You have given me your mud, and I have made gold out of it.

 

During the Solo Sculpture Exhibition of Fulya Asyalı:
The exhibition is open to public visit between the dates of (13.09.2022-12.10.2022) on Tuesday-Saturday between 11:00 am to 07:00 pm.
The gallery is closed to visitors on Sundays and Mondays.

SOLO EXHIBITION

First solo exhibition of Rina Balkan, starting her odyssey of sculpture works, starting with the passion of shaping clay by synthesizing varying techniques and materials, is available for display at Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery between May 25th and June 25th, 2022.

During Rina Balkan‟s ongoing exhibition at Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery, another work of the artist with a height of 180 cm created by using mixed technique will be available for display at Turkish Bank Harbiye VK1, in parallel to the exhibition.

The Work Exhibited is titled “Mother Earth”, the core of creation, signifying giving birth, nurturing and growing up, protecting, forgiveness and personification of life itself.

“Rina Balkan’s minimalist and post-minimalist sculptures strike the spectators with their plain imagery and impressive material color. While the artist is visualizing in her sculptures the values and judgments belonging to the biographic history of mankind and sociology of everyday life, handling emotions most humane and natural, such as human nature, feelings, life cycle, is also creating a unique visual satiety from viewpoint of spectators through their technical competence and appeal.” *Fırat Arapoğlu, Faculty Member (Altınbaş University, Art History (PhD)) Art Critique and Independent Curator.

“The abstract and concrete concepts that touch and intervenes my life and the things I perceive are my initial materials. My objective comprises of integrating the concepts I am interested in, with various materials, transforming them into plain form and exhibiting the same under simplest possible expression. My sculptures are my trips through my inner self…” Rina Balkan
