Art On İstanbul presents the first solo exhibition in Turkey of Renée Levi, who was born in Istanbul in 1960. Levi moved with her family to Switzerland in 1964 and has since established an international reputation with her works characterized by bold use of color. Living in Basel, Levi’s exhibition foregrounds the “conceptualized” element of color, liberated from any narrative constraints.
Titled “Sibel”, the presentation features canvas works created specifically for this exhibition, all of which have not been shown before. The exhibition confronts viewers with unfamiliar combinations of color and form, aiming to open the way for a “personal perception” through the impact of vibrant tones of varying intensity. Producing her own colors through unique mixtures, Levi also immerses viewers in a distinct sense of movement and rhythm, activating the gallery space as a whole. In this way, visitors can experience both a novel conceptual musicality and clusters of color that resonate deeply within the human psyche.
