Culture Route Festival in Istanbul and the Works of Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu
At the festival's new stop, the artist's mosaics and reliefs scattered across various points of the city stand out.
In Istanbul, the twentieth stop of the Culture Route Festival, Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu's mosaics, ceramic panels, reliefs, and artistic vision spread across various points of the city are being highlighted.
An Encounter with Art in Karaköy
When you get off the ferry in Karaköy, exit the underpass, and start walking, Murat Muhallebicisi located on the ground floor of Aksu Business Center appears before you.
When you look up, you can clearly see the fish, nets, boats, and rug patterns extending along the exterior facade.
Tatlıcılar Relief and Mosaic Panels
This structure is known as the Tatlıcılar Relief, made by Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu in 1965.
When you enter the shop, right on the opposite wall, there is a large mosaic panel depicting an ox cart pulled by oxen.
A Venue Like a Small Museum
Two cylindrical columns on both the left and right are also completely covered with Eyüboğlu's original patterns.
This shop, where thousands of people pass by every day, is actually almost like a small Bedri Rahmi museum.
Artistic Vision and Architectural Integration
It is known that the artist did not want painting to sleep in dim museum halls and advocated for art to merge with architecture.
Encountering art in places where people work, shop, and life flows is one of his core thoughts.
