Inner Multiplicity
Inner Multiplicity presents a solo exhibition by Ayşe Bayram, exploring identity as a shifting and layered condition shaped through experience, perception and inner dialogue.
The self is never singular. It unfolds as a constellation of evolving identities, formed through memory, social roles and emotional tension. What we understand as identity emerges not as a fixed centre, but as a fluid field where multiple presences coexist.
In Bayram’s works, masks function not as concealment, but as thresholds between interior and exterior realities. Through the fluidity of watercolour, forms dissolve, faces multiply and boundaries soften, revealing identity as fragile, dynamic and continuously in transformation.
Eyes, fractures, threads and fragmented figures evoke an ongoing negotiation between visibility and invisibility, autonomy and conditioning, vulnerability and resilience. The works suggest that identity is not something to be discovered, but something that is constantly reshaped.
The exhibition opens a contemplative space where fragmentation becomes awareness, and multiplicity reveals itself as a form of wholeness.

Through layered compositions and symbolic elements, Bayram constructs a visual language that reflects the complexity of inner experience. The works invite the viewer to engage with identity not as a fixed state, but as a continuous process of transformation.
Rather than offering resolution, the exhibition proposes a space of reflection, where contradictions, tensions and multiplicities coexist, forming a more expansive understanding of selfhood.

Aboriginal Songlines
Aboriginal Songlines presents a solo exhibition by Zerrin Türen, engaging with ideas of memory, connection and the transmission of knowledge through landscape.
The concept of songlines refers to pathways that map relationships between land, people and ancestral presence. In this exhibition, these ideas are approached through a contemporary visual language, where repetition, rhythm and symbolic forms create a sense of continuity across time and space.
Türen’s works construct an intuitive field of perception, where visual elements unfold beyond narrative structure. Rather than illustrating, the compositions suggest a state of connection, inviting a slower and more reflective encounter.
The exhibition proposes a space where memory is not fixed, but experienced as a living and evolving presence.

Moments from Fragments of Her |
12 to 16 March 2026Fragments of HerArt Exhibition
Dates Public: 12 to 16 March 2026 Exhibition Moments
Private View: Thursday 12 March, 6 pm to 9 pm About the ExhibitionFragments of Her was a contemporary art exhibition dedicated to female portraiture in its many forms. The exhibition brought together artists who explored the presence of women through portrait-based practices, celebrating identity, strength, vulnerability and lived experience across cultures and generations. Faces, gestures, gazes and bodies became carriers of narrative, memory and transformation. Rather than presenting a single definition of femininity, Fragments of Her revealed the richness and complexity of women’s stories through visual interpretation. Each artwork became a fragment of a wider collective portrait of contemporary womanhood.

15 – 17 January 2026'Cold Hand, Hot Art'
Exhibition Dates: 15 – 17 January 2026 Exhibition Moments
Opening Launch: Thursday 15 January 2026 About the ExhibitionThis exhibition reviewed the quiet tension between winter’s cold and the warmth we create to move through it. As the season slowed the body and the world outside turned muted, the artists turned inward, using their art as a steady source of comfort, focus, and gentle distraction. Rather than fighting winter’s chill, the exhibition embraced its calm, using art as small pockets of warmth and clarity when daylight was short and hands felt cold. Participating Artists
