The exhibition "Monochrome" focuses on digital art in its purest as black and white photos provide the perfect reflection of an art form that is in its essence based on a binary system of ones and zeros. Created using the shades of a single color and ultimately stripped of possibilities afforded by the variety of color, the aesthetics of the black and white artwork that make up this exhibition derive their power from a primal appreciation of lines and geometry. They avail themselves to instant appreciation being minimal yet powerful with gripping movement, technology and novelty. They are simultaneously simple and immediate yet complex and multi-layered. Whether one chooses to simply observe art on the surface or delve into its deeper layers, the pleasure of viewing these artworks always remains.

They are embodiments of "free beauty" in the Kantian sense, devoid of imitation, meaning or morals: They are simply beautiful in and of themselves. They play with our perceptions by creating alternative spaces, worlds and environments for us to experience and enjoy. "Monochrome" is first and foremost an exhibition that seeks enjoyment from its audience.

"Monochrome" was developed by digital art professional and curator duo Ceren and Irmak Arkman, and features art by world-renowned digital artists Ryoichi Kurokawa, LIA, Quayola, Memo Akten, Joanie Lemercier, Simon Heijdens, as well as Istanbul's very own Selçuk Artut, Ouchhh and Refik Anadol.
