Mümin Candaş: Düş İzi at Sava Sanat Galerisi, Ankara — 13–28 Nov 2026
Ankara Sava Sanat Galerisi in Çankaya presents “Düş İzi” (“Trace of a Dream”), a solo exhibition of paintings by the Trabzon-based painter Mümin Candaş. As reported by Cumhuriyet and RayHaber, the works return to old Anatolian village houses, abandoned and weathered buildings, tiled roofs, walls and narrow streets, with nature growing back over built space. Strong horizontal and vertical lines and decorative detail on doors, windows and roofs structure the compositions; warm reds and oranges meet blues and purples in urban scenes, while rural scenes settle into greens and earth tones. The human figure is absent — people appear only through the traces they leave.
