Renowned Turkish sculptor Ali Teoman Germaner, also known as Aloş, began creating Aloşnâme, a collection of drawings, in the tumultuous social environment of the 1970s. This visual diary, spanning from those years to the present day, not only provides clues to the personal journey of a noteworthy sculptor with his distinctive drawings but also contains a visual commentary intertwined with metaphors about Turkey's history.
Aloşnâme: The Philosopher's Stone of a Sculptor brings together this exceptional collection of drawings for the first time in such a rich scope. In addition to art historian Ahu Antmen's analysis of Germaner's masterpiece spread over time, a detailed interview with the artist sheds light on the mystery of Aloşnâme.
