Hikmet Serdar Mutlu's ceramic exhibit titled "The Whirling of Soil and Fire" has opened in Ankara, showcasing over 50 works of art that reflect Mevlana -- the founder of a Sufi school of spiritual thought -- and whirling dervishes.
According to Mutlu, the flow of spiritual thought that Mevlana started in Anatolia, which brought both deep understanding and humility and affected a large number of people, is embodied in the exhibit, displaying Mevlana's spiritual wealth in a sea of Sufi thought.
Mutlu said the ceramics on display at the exhibit have short titles so as to let people's imagination do their own work.
The artist, upon completing coursework at Anadolu University Kütahya Vocational High School in ceramics technology, graduated from Hacettepe University, where he also studied ceramics. He completed his master's at Hacettepe University.
Mutlu continues to work as an assistant professor at İnönü University in the department of ceramics. The artist has presented symposiums both nationally and internationally and has produced articles, a book, scientific research on ceramics and many other ceramic works.
The exhibit will be open until Feb. 28, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., except Saturdays and Sundays, at the Turkish-American Association's Emin Hekimligil Art Gallery, Ankara, Turkey.
