In a city that never slows down, Dirimart’s presentation at Art Dubai 2025 pulses with the kinetic beauty of metropolitan life. Titled Resonance Within, this curated group exhibition captures Dubai’s sensorial rhythm, placing the urban experience front and center in artistic expression.

Held from April 18–20, 2025 (with previews on the 16th and 17th) at the Madinat Jumeirah Conference & Events Centre, the showcase brings together five artists—Çiğdem Aky, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Seçkin Pirim, Canan Tolon, and Çağla Ulusoy—who each offer a distinct visual echo of life in flux.

Dirimart’s booth (B14, Arena – Hall 1) becomes more than just a stop on the fair map—it becomes a resonant chamber, where city and soul harmonize.

Which Artists Are Driving the Pulse of Resonance Within?

This isn’t about merely showing art—it’s about feeling it.

Çiğdem Aky’s new series True Colour explores the emotional charge of hue and harmony. Through rich gradients and gentle flow, her works pull us into the unspoken rhythms of urban emotionality.
Nuri Bilge Ceylan, renowned for his cinematic gaze, unveils a never-before-seen portrait and landscape, premiering for the first time in Dubai. The pieces are haunting in their quietude—balancing presence and absence in both the natural and human worlds.
Seçkin Pirim sculpts with resonance—literally. His geometric abstractions, like the paper-cut piece Anxiety, vibrate with urban tension and introspective calm, calling viewers to engage with their own inner cities.
Canan Tolon’s work evokes Dubai’s interplay between built and organic—between steel and sand, sunlight and shadow.
And Çağla Ulusoy, ever the poet of the overlooked, transforms mundane objects into meditative visual symphonies, decoding the sacred in the ordinary.

Together, these voices articulate a multilayered meditation on how urban environments influence the psyche, the senses, and the subconscious.

Why Does Dirimart’s Curation Feel So Timely—and So Intimate?

Because this isn’t just a display—it’s a dialogue.

The exhibition’s title, Resonance Within, is no coincidence. The works aren’t shouting at the viewer—they’re humming with the kind of low, lasting frequency you feel in your chest. It’s a curatorial call to pause and listen to what cities do to our inner landscapes.

And in Dubai, a city known for its breathtaking velocity and cultural intersections, that conversation becomes even more powerful.

Dirimart, founded in Istanbul in 2002, is no stranger to bold, thoughtful programming. This presentation shows a gallery attuned to both global vision and emotional nuance—a mix that feels right at home in Art Dubai’s vibrant international contextArt Dubai Press Release.

In a fair brimming with spectacle, Resonance Within chooses depth. It invites us not to race through the corridors of Art Dubai, but to linger, reflect, and let the city’s resonance shift something inside us.

This is not just contemporary art—it’s contemporary emotion, distilled and displayed in its most poetic form.
