#artmeetsTurkishLeather

Our purpose is to create a project where artists from different disciplines meet with leather, as a new material. This extraordinary approach to the use of leather, while elevating the perception of "leather", also becomes an opportunity to form and enhance a "leather friendly" consciousness in the art & design world.

Günnur Özsoy: "As a sculptor, I look at any material that I encounter from a different perspective. While leather is a very attractive material which tempts me to touch it, as a concept, it is also the part of the organic world that I build on my sculptures with its naturalness. In leather trade industry which has consistently improved itself within Turkish tradition, today, I am winking at leather art while creating my sculptures with leather."
