Dirimart London has opened 'Immersion,' the first UK gallery exhibition this century dedicated to Turkish-Arab modernist Fahrelnissa Zeid. Curated by Adila Laïdi-Hanieh, the show focuses on her most innovative decades from the 1940s to 1960s, featuring works from Istanbul, London, Paris, and Ischia, with several pieces on public view for the first time.
The exhibition marks a significant gallery homecoming following her 2017 Tate Modern retrospective, highlighting her unique position across multiple artistic centers. It offers rare insight into her little-known Ischia period and traces her evolution from figuration to bold abstraction and back, cementing her legacy as a pioneering figure in post-war modernism.
