We are pleased to present 'ecstasy self-portrait no:1' by leading Turkish sculptor Hande Şekerciler in Grosvenor Square for Mayfair Sculpture Trail and Mayfair Art Weekend 2021. From 2 - 27 June, the Mayfair Sculpture Trail sees renowned local galleries present sculptures by leading international artists beyond their walls in the capital's most famous art district. First exhibited at the CerModern Museum in Ankara, Turkey, and now on display in the serene location of Grosvenor Square, 'ecstasy self-portrait no:1' depicts two writhing figures fused within a cascade of bronze drapery.
The entwined figures are both hairless and genderless. Şekerciler describes this as a state of 'purification', in which the figures remain disconnected from societal labels and offer an important axis for self-reflection in our contemporary age. Take a self-guided tour around Mayfair Sculpture Trail today by using the SMARTIFY App. The unique app allows visitors to scan the sculptures as they go to learn more about the story behind each piece.
