Ayhan Çetin: Kent Belleği at Galeri Soyut, Ankara — 30 Oct–11 Nov 2026
Galeri Soyut in Çankaya presents Kent Belleği (City Memory), a solo painting exhibition by Ayhan Çetin in the gallery’s A Salonu. According to the gallery, the 29 works — large compositions and small canvases, painted in acrylic — follow urban structures, crowds and architectural forms, treating the city as a space of memory that resists forgetting. The selection moves from Istanbul scenes such as Balat, Eminönü, the Maiden’s Tower and the Bosphorus to Cappadocia, Kaş and Kekova, and to everyday street subjects: traffic, a bus stop, a school bus, a pedestrian crossing.
