'Detay' Art Gallery will host İhsan Çakıcı’s exhibition titled “From Anatolia” between December 6, 2024 and January 3, 2025.

Born in Akşehir in 1944, İhsan Çakıcı completed his art education at the Gazi Education Institute Painting-Work Department. Continuing his career as both an educator and an artist, Çakıcı has participated in numerous exhibitions both domestically and internationally since 1968.

The Artist's Aesthetic and Technical Approach
İhsan Çakıcı's recent works reflect an approach that masterfully establishes a fine balance between the past and contemporary. Çakıcı, who brings an innovative dimension to his art by combining traditional printing techniques with contemporary materials, also addresses historical figures in a modern context in this exhibition. The light-shadow games he creates with materials such as Plexiglas emphasize the dominance of geometric arrangements in his works, while historical references are strengthened with details such as gilded paint.
The artist's works synthesize the aesthetic values of the past with the understanding of modern art, taking the viewer into the depths of time. Transitions from grays to bright colors present a visual story that hints at humanity's adventure from the past to the future.
