Ferhat Deniz opens solo exhibit at Zilberman

The exhibition takes its name from a story in Greek mythology. Icarus, with his wings made of wax, gets carried away by the joy of flying. His wings melt as he gets too close to the sun and falls into the Aegean Sea. In Ferhat Deniz’s paintings, the human structure, guided by zeal, desire and many other emotions, appears in the dark and strives to reach its inner equilibrium. Gestures on wealth and the lack thereof determine their own fate in an expressionistic pictorial understanding. Begüm Acar says the following about the young artist’s work: “The intertwinement of reality and fantasy reflects Ferhat’s stance in life, which is an insistence on individualism rather than the values of society. His interest is in comprehending the real truth that impels him to bring out his instinctive impulses.” Address: Istiklal Cad. Misir Apt. No:163 K.3 D.10 Beyoglu
