Tasarımparkı offers art lovers a brand new experience with the “Transformation” exhibition. In the exhibition where the frames reflected from the lens of photographer Sena İyikul are combined with the textures, peintures and lines added by Painter İlkay Günerli, the viewer gets the opportunity to reinterpret visual perception with the interaction established between photography and painting.
In the exhibition that will open to visitors at Tasarımparkı on Saturday, April 12, the artists approach the concept of transformation not only as a physical change but also as an experience that appeals to the viewer’s perceptual process. In the exhibition, the question of where one image ends and how another begins offers art lovers a deep area of inquiry. Viewers have the opportunity to experience their own perceptual transformations by being drawn into the details with the works that gain a constantly changing form beyond stagnation. The Dialogue of Photography and Painting Exhibition is open to visitors until April 20.
