Spots of Light Exhibition - Istanbul

ASMALLWORLD and Ambassador Ayla Yalcin invite members and guests to the opening of Spots of Light, a new exhibition by Russian artist George Khomich, hosted at the acclaimed The Wall Art Gallery in the heart of Istanbul’s historic Karaköy district.
Set within a striking four-storey Genoese building, The Wall Art Gallery is known for challenging artistic norms. With a mission to spotlight both established and emerging talent from Turkey and beyond, it plays a key role in shaping Istanbul’s contemporary art landscape.
Khomich fuses a variety of mediums—from airbrush and powder to oils and pigments—to create richly textured, emotionally resonant pieces. In Spots of Light, he explores how light alters perception, shifting the focus from subject to sensation, from colour to rhythm, and from narrative to abstraction.
The artist will be at the opening and members will have the opportunity to ask questions and talk with him!
George Khomich, born in Russia in 1999, is a multidisciplinary artist whose background in scenario creation has shaped a unique, immersive approach to the canvas. Working with diverse materials such as powder, airbrush, oil paint, acrylic, pastel, pigments and varnishes, his works draw viewers into a layered world of color, rhythm and texture.
Inspired by universally familiar images—boats, flowers, animals, and figures—George uses these forms as starting points, transforming them into dynamic, semi-abstract compositions that explore emotion, perception, and introspection. As he describes it, “I do not paint objects, I paint their feelings.” His process begins with the sensation of an image, inviting a free and honest dialogue with the viewer.
In his latest series, Spots of Light, Khomich experiments with a new stylistic direction, where light becomes the main expressive force. Rays and reflections blur forms, shifting focus from object to sensation. These works invite multiple layers of interpretation, revealing hidden narratives through texture, depth, and distant perspective.
