From A Friend’s Drawer

Bozlu Art Project shall have on display from April 9th to August 31st newly-uncovered drawings of Cihat Burak, one of the most unique and extraordinary figures in Turkish painting. Found in a drawer in the museum-like home of Mengü Ertel, known for his friendships with artists, as well as successful artworks in various fields ranging from graphic design to posters and theatre sets, these drawings also serve as a memorial for these two artists both of whom are no longer in this world, and as an embodiment of the genuine, unselfish and amicable relationships of the time. This exhibition by Esma Ertel and Oğuz Erten seeks to highlight the importance of interdisciplinary relations in painting, literature, music and cinema, and Oğuz Erten is writing the book to accompany the exhibit
