Description
Through Woven Times offers a survey of the prolific work of a Turkish artist who developed a contemporary visual language using a flat-weave "kilim" technique.
This monograph provides a kaleidoscopic glimpse into the subjects, themes, and formal concerns that Belkis Balpinar (1941) explored over her extensive career. With large-scale woven pieces, hanging sculptures, and wall pieces spanning five decades, Balpinar's textile experiments represent a resolute but continuously evolving blend of material and shape, serving unexpected narratives.
Predominantly employing a semi-abstract visual language, she amalgamates her knowledge of traditional flat weaves with imaginative interpretations of centuries-old techniques. Her work forms a humanistic projection field, emphasising what we all have in common, such as our passions and dreams, regardless of where in the world we live.
