Ömer Atakan and Sevil Kuranel's joint exhibition opens on November 21

Bringing together the different production languages of artists Ömer Atakan and Sevil Kuranel, the joint exhibition titled "We've Met Before" opens to visitors on November 21 at Frank Art Studio / Ruz Hotels in Asmalımescit.

Focusing on popular culture, personal memory, and shared visual memory, the exhibition brings together the different narrative grounds of the two artists. Built on the idea of re-recognizing images and stories that have settled in the collective memory, the exhibition features original drawings by Ömer Atakan that draw from the narrative languages of comic books, illustration, and graphics. Atakan combines figures bearing traces of cinema and art history with hand-drawn characters, presenting visual stories where reality and fiction intertwine.

Sevil Kuranel, on the other hand, joins this world curated by Atakan through the character "Ric" which she paints using the acrylic technique. This character appears before the audience on walls, Polaroid photographs, and various surfaces within the scope of the exhibition. The exhibition, where different periods and figures meet again in the same frame, can be visited until December 19.
