Kadir Karababa – ‘for my open eyes are tired’

07/08/25 till 13/08/25

‘for my open eyes are tired’ is Kadir Karababa’’s debut solo exhibition of paintings, presenting a visceral body of work spanning 2023-2025 that navigates the fragmented terrain of multiple, often conflicting identities. Kadir pursues suspended figures—untethered from the world, heads floating in darkness and light—creating spaces where disconnection becomes a form of yearning.

Taking its title from Khalil Gibrans ‘The Beauty of Death’, ‘for my open eyes are tired’ captures a splintering of selves and seeks beauty in the artist’s own death whilst visualising what feels difficult to vocalise: profound isolation that is deeply individual yet collectively shared.
