Ruzy Gallery is set to become a new meeting point for contemporary art enthusiasts in Istanbul. Focusing on modern and contemporary art, the gallery aims to showcase works by artists from various disciplines. Its debut exhibition, “The Age We Awakened”, will present a selection of works by renowned artist Ahmet Güneştekin, including his paintings, original ceramics, and sculptures.
Ruzy Gallery, which aspires to host artists from across all fields of contemporary art, opens its doors to art lovers in Istanbul. The gallery's inaugural exhibition, "The Age We Awakened", will feature a solo show by one of Turkey's most prominent artists, Ahmet Güneştekin. His distinctive and captivating works promise a visual feast for visitors.
The opening exhibition "The Age We Awakened" brings together Güneştekin’s pieces, created through an interpretive approach that draws on the notion of diversity and is grounded in the transformation of imagination across surfaces.
Inspired by Güneştekin’s view that myths serve as a form of cultural memory and collective consciousness, the exhibition opens a conceptual space for understanding the timeless nature of mythical thinking. It features more than fifty works, including the artist’s signature brushwork paintings, original ceramics, and sculptures—each crafted around mythical narratives that suggest an awakening from a surreal slumber into another world, where images possess intrinsic value and the power to shape truth.
Founded by Esra Çevik, Ruzy Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting works by artists from diverse disciplines, with a focus on modern and contemporary art. The gallery also seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue as a means of encouraging the discussion and sharing of art.
Located in a three-story villa spanning 600 square meters and expanded with panoramic windows, the gallery will welcome visitors in an impressive setting. Accompanying its launch, a restaurant opening simultaneously will enchant guests with its inner courtyard. At the heart of the restaurant, a sculpture by Güneştekin will create a harmonious fusion of art and gastronomy, offering a striking visual centerpiece. In addition to regularly hosting diverse exhibitions, the gallery will also organize a variety of art-related events.
With its original and professional approach, Ruzy Gallery is poised to become a favorite destination for contemporary art enthusiasts, supporting the development of an ideal artistic environment through exhibitions that span different periods of art.
