Ahmet Dogu Ipek

Ahmet Dogu Ipek: Sound of the Ground – Face of the Stone presents a comprehensive survey of Ipek’s artistic journey over the past decade. Renowned for his diligent, meditative, and meticulously crafted approach, Ipek explores texture, repetition, and pattern to investigate the micro and macro structures that shape both natural and built environments. While his practice is rooted in watercolor—a medium known for its unpredictability and delicacy—his work also spans sculpture and site-specific installations.

Edited by Nilufer Sasmazer and designed by Esen Karol, the book features insightful new essays by Sibel Bozdogan, Shumon Basar, Duygu Demir, Ariane Koek, and Tilo Schulz, alongside a poem by Selen Ansen. Together, they explore Ipek’s distinct series and the conceptual threads that connect them.
