ISTANBUL – Hürriyet Daily News
A miniature exhibition displaying the modern reflections of art of miniatures is opening today at the Caddebostan Culture Center (CKM) on the Asian side of Istanbul. Miniature artists Canan Demirel, Raif Aydın and Serap Derinkök aim to surprise art lovers in the exhibition with their style, color and viewpoints. In this meeting, which is a first for the three artists together, interpretations, details and different materials used in their works are expected to draw the viewers’ attention.
Demirel, who is known for her graphic designs, uses Byzantine mosaics in her art, using miniature techniques. Aydın mostly uses the theme of Istanbul in his works, reflecting the city with miniatures showcasing fine details. The other artist, Derinkök, loves playing with colors and adds modern details to her pieces.
Curated by Ceylan Harmancı, the exhibition of some 40 artworks will continue through Oct. 13.
