Walking on Wire 10 May - 28 Jun 2014 Istanbul Walking on the Wire is a presentation of new work by Gülay Semercioğlu, a Turkish artist who plays with our perceptions of light, perspective, depth and colour. Walking on the Wire presents a series of new pieces that exemplify the more sculptural aspects of her recent work. During the exhibition the gallery's lights will be dimmed and its walls and floor changed to a near-black hue, creating a dark and shadowy space in which spotlights will illuminate how Semercioğlu's glossy, satin surfaces draw light in, bending and refracting it.

Mehmet Ali Uysal
Painting 11 Sep - 26 Oct 2013 Istanbul In his third solo show at Pi Artworks Istanbul, Mehmet Ali Uysal reveals his Paintings to the audience.
