Chrysalis of Rebirth

CARPEL, an art collective bridging London and Istanbul, proudly presents its inaugural exhibition "Chrysalis of Rebirth" at 67 York Street Gallery, Marylebone. This thought-provoking show brings together ten acclaimed artists who explore the concept of rebirth not as a rejection of the past, but as a continuous process of transformation and becoming.

The exhibition features works by Ahu Akgün, Burçak Bingöl, Cemre Yeşil, Erol Eskici, Hilal Polat, Meltem Şahin, Nancy Atakan, Özgül Arslan, Sarah Pickstone, and Seph Li, each offering unique perspectives on how personal, cultural, and societal changes shape our identity and existence.

Through diverse media and approaches, the artists delve into the interplay between memory and imagination, destruction and creation. Each piece exists in dialogue with the others, where past and present intertwine to create infinite possibilities for both self and collective exploration.

"In the labyrinth of contemporary existence, in a world where the boundaries of identity, culture, and memory are fluid, we find ourselves in a constant state of becoming." says curator Bengü Gün.

This exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how we reconstruct our identities and lives in response to new situations and environments, through existential renewal and personal transformation.
