About TAMAM
On the occasion of this first exhibition, Turabi Yazar and Antoine de Vilmorin present a group of works on paper created between Istanbul and Paris over the past three years.
A shared studio, a shared practice, and two independent bodies of work that meet and maintain a tacit and complementary relationship. A common sensibility surrounds this traditional practice, whose foundations can only truly be understood and mastered through the guidance of a master. It is an ancestral art of patience, attention, and anticipation; of slow and measured gestures, as well as swift and timely movements. The learning of perseverance, punctuated by numerous “revelations” and “accidents.
The history of the Ebru technique is complex. Specifically associated with Ottoman Turkish culture and once used by shamans, its origins nevertheless remain unknown. Said to have come from India or Iran, it passed through various civilizations alongside the spread of paper. It can be found in Uzbekistan, China, and even in modern Egypt on papyrus.
Ebru was embraced in Islamic art for its power of abstraction, yet above all — and equally so in its contemporary practice today — it remains a spiritual and meditative experience.
