"instants” Press Releases

“instants”
Instants in life bring out inspirations that evoke emotions…
An artist listens to his feelings and highest thoughts. He also imagines. Then combines these with knowledge, discipline, technique and experience… And the resulting work is the most reliable purveyor of this combination. It is the reflection of his soul…The redefinition of his deepest emotions on canvas, paper, or elsewhere… Voiceless but expressive…

Instants count much in an artist’s life: His artwork is either the consequence of an instant he’s inspired by or the narration of an instant, captured in mind to be exposed. And the very instant when the viewer is affected by his work, is also of upmost importance for an artist. As we all know, art isn’t only what the artist feels or sees, but what he makes others feel and see. So he can never disregard the instant he makes others feel the beauty, harmony, peace, confusion or perhaps violence in his work.

From March 1st until 10 th 2008, instants were celebrated in Istanbul.

Istanbul, a two thousand six hundred year old city at ‘the crossroads of Europe and Asia’, the capital of three great Empires and center of two religions, where different cultures have met and mingled since early history until this very instant. In this context, on the 1st of March 2008, 34 distinguished artists from distant lands were brought together in Istanbul, to present their magnificient works of art in the exhibition titled “instants”.

By organizing “instants” International Painting Exhibition, our scope was to introduce the works of a group of prestigious contemporary artists of various nationalities to domestic lovers of art; thus promoting and acquainting the contemporary Turkish artists and art lovers with the progressive happenings on the international art platforms.

ERENUS ART GALLERY is once more proud of having created a medium where “art” was precisely valued.

We would like to give our special thanks to Each of the participating Artists for accepting our invitation and taking part in this event, either by sending us their precious works or by joining us in person, travelling all the way to Istanbul.
