Ahmet Doğu İpek: Sound of the Ground – Face of the Stone

Ahmet Doğu İpek: Sound of the Ground – Face of the Stone presents a comprehensive survey of İpek’s artistic journey over the past decade. Renowned for his diligent, meditative, and meticulously crafted approach, İpek 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 Bozdoğan, Shumon Basar, Duygu Demir, Ariane Koek, and Tilo Schulz, alongside a poem by Selen Ansen. Together, they explore İpek’s distinct series and the conceptual threads that connect them.
