Galerie Anna Laudel is presenting a special duo exhibition in the “Collaborations” sector at Art Cologne 2024. The focus is on the works of artists Belkis Balpinar and Ardan Özmenoglu, who deal with themes such as femininity and gender roles in their art in an innovative way. Their works will be on display in Hall 11.2, Stand A-302 from November 7 to 10, 2024.
Known for their critical and artistically challenging explorations of the role of women in modern society, Balpinar and Özmenoglu have created artworks together for the first time for Art Cologne 2024. These works combine tradition and innovation and offer visitors to the fair an exciting insight into current discourses in contemporary art.
Belkis Balpinar (*1941) takes textile art to a new dimension in her works. She is a pioneer of the “un-weave” technique, in which “un-woven” areas and the resulting shadows are used to break up traditional patterns. Her new works subtly explore the idea of femininity and create a feminist formal language in the field of textile art.
Ardan Özmenoglu (*1979) experiments with a variety of materials such as neon, glass and post-its to create provocative artworks. Her neon sculptures question the expectations of female identity in today's society in a humorous and often ironic way. Her works combine traditional elements with a modern, artistic mode of expression.
Visitors to Art Cologne will have the opportunity to discover these impressive and unique works at the Anna Laudel stand A-302. The duo exhibition offers an exciting exchange between tradition and contemporary art and encourages reflection on the role of gender roles and art.
We cordially invite you to the Art Cologne Champagne Reception on November 07, 2024 at 16:00 in Hall 11.2, Stand A-302 ANNA LADUEL.
