This brief display opens on Tuesday 28th August and ends on 1st September, taking in Victory Day, on 30th August, which is a public holiday.

There will be the usual opening party, between 19.00 and 20.30 on Tuesday evening, and everyone is welcome to come along.

Birsel Özen
The artist studied at the Turkish Academy of Fine Arts, and went on to create her own design patterns.  In 1979 she started to collect Ottoman clothes, and this private collection was shown in the Etiler Akbank Art Gallery in 1984.

Then she started to work in the ebru (marble) style, with Hikmet Barutçugil.  In 2002, she participated in marbling workshops in Bombay, India. She opened her own workshop in Moda to teach the ebru method, to other art lovers.  She still continues with these classes.

Birsel's work has been shown in no fewer than 10 exhibitions, two of which were abroad.
