Buket Savci

Kravets Wehby Gallery is thrilled to present Patches For a Broken Harmony, a new exhibition by Buket Savci, bringing together a vibrant body of work that celebrates life through an exuberant language of color, movement, and human connection.

In these new paintings, figures appear in moments of movement and suspension, surrounded by flowers and expansive, cosmic spaces. Savci’s paintings have always explored the tension between people, nature, and their environments. Here, the figures assume circular formations as a metaphor for the shared experience of living: bodies move together, patterns collide, and individuals provide for the greater orchestration. These structures become a conduit and shield to process mental ache in an overall joyful existence. Drawing from the elegance and discipline of dance alongside the spontaneity of performance, Savci creates scenes that feel staged and deeply personal. Her saturated palette and intricate compositions transform ordinary moments into celebrations, while intimacy and vulnerability remain present throughout.

With this body of work, Savci continues to embolden her distinctive vision of figurative painting. The new paintings invite viewers into worlds that are cheerful, immersive, and unnaturally colorful, while suggesting that elation itself can be a form of resilience. Through these paintings, Savci offers an exuberant meditation on connection, performance, beauty, and the fleeting moments that make life worth celebrating.
