Belkis Balpinar: Through Woven Times: Works from Four Decades
By Skira EditoreDescription
A survey of the prolific work of a Turkish artist who developed a contemporary visual language using a flat-weave "kilim" technique
Through Woven Times is a kaleidoscopic glimpse into the subjects, themes, and formal concerns that Belkis Balpinar (1941) examined over her prolific work. With large-scale woven pieces, hanging sculptures, and wall pieces spanning five decades, Balpinar's textile experiments are a resolute but continuously evolving process medley of material and shape in service of unexpected narrative. In this monograph, the semi-abstract visual language predominates. She amalgamated her knowledge of traditional flat weaves with imaginative interpretations of centuries-old techniques. Her work can be seen as a humanistic projection field that emphasizes what we all have in common, such as our passions and dreams, regardless of where in the world we live.
