PRESS RELEASE
Siba Sahabi presents her candlestick series Istanbul Twilight at Gallery Sofie Lachaert (Candles and Mirrorsexhibition, 5 February – 8 April 2012)
Candlesticks, inspired by Istanbul twilight
Through the ages many artists used mirrors and/or candles in their paintings for their beauty, symbolism, mysteriousness. Gallery Sofie Lachaert has chosen these fascinating objects as theme for a group exhibition that will be presented from February 5 – April 8 2012 in the gallery in Tielrode.
Istanbul twilight comprises seven candleholders, made of felt, dedicated to the metropolis that connects Europe and the Middle East. The shape of the candleholders are directly inspired by the silhouette of Istanbul. The use of colours reflect different shades of light on city facades at dusk and dawn.
Choice of material is based on a certain characteristic of wool: it doesn’t catch fire. The felt is cut into long strips and then coiled by hand into circles, like a snake. The candleholders are completed with a candlepin.
