Emotional flood of colors: Gülenay Sarı presents Expression” in Cologne
There is a lot to discover in Cologne, as the upcoming exhibition “Expression” by Gülenay Sarı impressively shows. The talented artist, born in Ankara in 1984 and based in the cathedral city since 2006, will open her doors in the cathedral city from June 21st to 28th, 2025 Gallery Honor Art at Hüttenstraße 32. What is special about this exhibition are the new, large-format canvas works, which impress with intense colors and gestural abstraction and address emotions and memories.
Gülenay Sarı is not only an active artist, but also teaches art at the Müngersdorf High School and has already presented her works in various exhibitions in Istanbul. If you would like to get an idea of her visionary works, you should not miss the opening on June 21st at 6:30 p.m.
A journey into the Cologne art scene of the 70s
But it's not just the upcoming exhibition "Expression" that is causing excitement in the Cologne art scene. At the same time, the exhibition “Rooms for Art” in Haus Mödrath in Kerpen attracts everyone’s attention. Provocative works can be seen here, including blasphemous installations by the artist Blalla W. Hallmann. A warning sign on the door tells visitors: “Not suitable for young people”! Such thought-provoking works are seen by many in the Cologne art scene as a reflection of the time when art was very popular.
Under the motto “Always feste druff”, which summarizes the Cologne art scene of the 70s, there are many surprises to discover. In addition to Hallmann's works, lifelike sculptures by Gregor Schneider and the video by Roman Signer, in which a kayak trip takes place overland, are also highlights of the exhibition. Here art comes alive in all its facets.
A look into the present
Those interested should not miss the multimedia installations, from Joseph Beuys’ sound work to Anna and Bernhard Blume’s anarchic photo series “Mahlzeit”. The exhibition runs on weekends until March 19, 2023 and only costs ten euros entry. A visit is definitely worth it, as it is an opportunity to experience the different movements of art in Cologne and to be inspired.
It's an exciting time in Cologne for art lovers. No matter whether at Gülenay Sarı in the Gallery Honor Art or in Haus Mödrath with “Rooms for Art” – the diversity of creative voices invites you to engage with the art scene and discover new perspectives.
