Thinking of You

In the C24 Atrium, we will be presenting Thinking of You, a solo exhibition of hand-woven tapestries by Fırat Neziroğlu. Celebrated throughout Turkey and Europe for his unique takes on a traditional practice, this will be the first time his work has been exhibited in the US. Utilizing hand-spun, custom-dyed wool, Neziroğlu reinterprets the centuries-old art form of Kilim rug making with contemporary images and content. With a patented technique that allows for loosely hanging and three-dimensional components, he creates portraits of his closest friends, beautiful, intimate celebrations of life and love. Working from memory, without reference drawings, he incorporates bold colors and unlikely subjects into striking, one-of-a-kind, textured compositions.

 

As we continue to champion artists who explore questions of identity through a broader cultural and historical lens, we are excited to share the complex and nuanced work presented by this international collection of voices.
