About Artist
Photography, since invented has become a powerful instrument not only for the manifestation of visual images but as a ‘language’ for communication between things, places and people. In this regard, Kamil Fırat (taking photographs since the 70’s) uses this ‘language’ in utmost plainness yet creativity when showing (revealing in a way) and relating his photographic tales to viewers while enabling the perception of the issues from his perspective and interpretation of the world around us. The cultural depth and sense of history in his works attribute to the display of certain individual and social moments and memories. We see striking examples of this in the 'ROAD' series, which will be exhibited for the first time on February 27 at G-art Gallery. The exhibition starts with black and white photographs which continues and ends with surprisingly innovative techniques such as layers of colorings thus showing a process of content and aesthetics. We’re eventually drawn into the realm of a certain cinematographic narrative in Kamil Fırat’s works.
