In collaboration with KAIR, Ezgi Yakın an artist from Izmir was a guest in Košice from September till November. Between 29 October- 4 November, her solo exhibition Juncture is at Tabacka in Košice.
Ezgi Yakın creates paintings, sculptures and installations in her works. In his works, the space in the humor strengthens the effect of the structure created by shapes and lines. Like our relationship with nature and the environment, the artist traces and analyzes the forms of the elements of nature and its physical environment. The image world created by Yakın comes out of the process itself, interacts with the collective subconscious and examines the elements of the self.
Yakın graduated from the Painting Department of Dokuz Eylül University and continues to work as a research assistant.
