Standing out with his use of different materials and unique techniques in his well-known stencil-drawings and paper-cutting works with spray, Halil Vurucuoğlu re-constructs the journey to the depths of the subconscious mind with a picturesque narration in his solo exhibition titled “Syzygy”. Vurucuoğlu’s re-constructed journey lets the audience to discover their inner world in order to make sense of the external world and frees them from the pressure.

Vurucuoğlu describes Syzygy as the state of coexistence of the similarities and opposites. Emphasizing the syzygy concept, this exhibition creates an environment where everything is balanced despite the contrasts. Autoportrait work of the artist for the first time in a long period and references to his earlier works in this exhibition reveals his expertise in the paper-cutting technique.
