Gallery Bosfor is proud to present Four Feet, a solo exhibition by Funda Susamoglu, from May 2nd to May 31th. The exhibition features the latest ceramic works produced by the artist, focusing on a semi-living genre she describes. The works in the exhibition have an ambigious form, discovered through references to natural entities such as plants, rocks, topographic elements, animals, and humans. In Four Feet, Susamoglu's forms are not simply a represention of something; rather, they embody themselves as unidentified entities that evoke a sense of being discovered in nature. Inbetween alive and still, animal and human, plant or rock, it is hard to name them but a sense of familiarity keeps us close to these forms. The artist believes that fellow species undergo a transformation in communication with one another, they engage in a process of not just reshaping but recreating each other. The title of the show, Four Feet, alludes to the idea of grounding oneself, being down to earth, and getting closer to those who may seem apart from you. The surfaces of Susamoğlu's works are shaped by touch, emphasizing the importance of human interaction by highlighting the need for touch. Therefore, the atmosphere of the exhibition merges with a tactile idea that emphasizes staying close together, cooperation in unity with living and inanimate forms. Regarding the exhibition where Susamoğlu establishes her own habitat as much as individual works, she says: "Four Feet is about being close to the ground, weaving an effort to approach oneself. A bodily understanding, a mutual understanding with creatures standing side by side, reaching towards each other... In the landscape shaped by touch on the ground we meet, the air becomes tangible, the water gains form, and the animal merges with the terrain."
