Offering an innovative perspective on the mystical and symbolic narrative of contemporary art, the exhibition invites the viewer on a journey along the fine line between reality and imagination. Inspired by the aesthetic conventions of the Victorian era, the works reinterpret the enchantment of classical art through a contemporary visual style. The themes, shaped by the artist's exploration of connecting couples, merge the delicate elegance of times past with the peculiar, even surreal imagery of the present. These tales encompass nature, animals, and the relationship between humanity and the cosmos.
The works on display bridge the symbolic language of the classical period with contemporary techniques, becoming elements of an anachronistic, sometimes "steampunk" narrative. Each piece in Enigmatic Couple Tales echoes the classical era, while also incorporating the digital and surreal influences of today. The exhibition thus calls on all art enthusiasts to explore this modern interpretation of classical art, one that maintains a deep respect for its origins.
The exhibition will be open to the public at x-ist's Gümüşsuyu venue from 17 October to 16 November 2024, Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
