The paintings and engravings by Fatih Mika are being exhibited October 11 through November 7. The exhibition will be open to visitors every day except Sundays, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Fatih Mika, born in 1956 in Istanbul, is a pioneer in the field of gravure. Famous for his original acid-engraving technique, which creates a marbling effect, the artist has concentrated on the area of gravure within the visual arts, and has had 49 solo exhibitions of his work. He currently resides and has his studio in Rome, where he also teaches the art of gravure at Foggia Fine Arts Academy.
Attila Güllü, curator of the gallery invites all to this remarkable exhibition: "We wholeheartedly encourage everyone to visit the exhibition, because it is essential for all individuals to nourish themselves culturally."
