Amalart's First Exhibition in Turkey: A Remarkable Journey!
Istanbul, a city that has long served as a cradle for diverse civilizations and cultures, stood proudly as the backdrop for Amalart’s inaugural exhibition in Turkey. Over the centuries, Istanbul embraced a rich tapestry of faiths, languages, and ethnicities, each woven into the very fabric of this vibrant metropolis. Known as the hope chest of civilizations, Istanbul claimed its title as a world capital, bridging the continents of Asia and Europe with its remarkable spirit. Always teeming with life, this dynamic city not only captivated visitors but also established itself as one of the premier centers for contemporary art.
From November 4th to November 12th, 2017, the International Istanbul Art Fair unfolded at the Tuyap Fair & Congress Center, transforming it into a spectacular hub of creativity and inspiration. Amalart felt truly honored to participate in this prestigious event, showcasing a collection of stunning artworks by the talented artist, Lee FENG.
This 2017 edition of the fair was a vibrant amalgamation of artworks from both established and emerging galleries, highlighting the rich regional and international dimensions of Istanbul’s contemporary art scene.

With every corner of the fair buzzing with excitement and anticipation, visitors had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a stunning array of artistic expressions that celebrated both tradition and innovation. The warmth and energy of the people, combined with the extraordinary pieces on display, created an unforgettable atmosphere, marking a significant moment in Amalart's journey.

For those who missed the event, the memories linger on through the vivid images of past exhibitions. The journey didn’t merely end with the closing of the fair; it opened new doors, fostering a shared passion for contemporary art that would continue to thrive in the years to come.
Lee Feng, a remarkable contemporary artist hailing from China, has garnered international acclaim for his innovative approach to painting and storytelling through visual art. With a background steeped in traditional Chinese artistry and techniques, he seamlessly blends these age-old practices with modern aesthetics and themes. Each piece created by Lee is a journey into a world that reflects his unique perspective on life, culture, and the intricate relationships that connect us all.
His work often explores the harmony between nature and human interaction, using vibrant colors and intricate details to breathe life into every canvas.
