Taner Alakuş

With art of miniature now included in the UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List, Taner Alakuş, a Turkish miniature artist, sheds light on the way this branch of art, which has gained significant national interest, is advancing in the international arena and the potential it holds.

Gallery Istanbul1881, which opened two years ago to contribute to Istanbul's promotion in national and international platforms, presents souvenirs featuring British painter Ned Pamphilon's vivid Istanbul colors and Turkey's world renowned miniature artist Taner Alakuş's historic tissues. The works can be found at the gallery in the Kadıköy neighborhood.

Miniature artist Taner Alakuş's third solo exhibition, 'Auto portrait,' curated by Ceylan Harmancı, will open at the Caddebostan Culture Center Art Gallery on Oct 20.

The exhibition can be visited through Nov 20.
