art

Beauty is a concept without a fixed form; it is born into transience and grows within it. Constantly undergoing transformation through time, this concept draws its creative power from the tension between the state of spontaneity and the influence—or assault—of an active force.

Affect is a short-lived emotional response to a moment, event, or feeling—one that can, at times, exceed the bounds of willpower.

“Affectiz” is the outcome of an artistic act that attempts to view beauty in an artwork through a historical memory-based perspective.

“Affectiz” is the outcome of an artistic inquiry that approaches beauty in art through the lens of historical memory. Kağan Çelik's solo exhibition “Affectiz” will be on view at Guga Contemporary from May 10 to May 22, 2025.
