Bedri Baykam: Pioneering 4D Art
The exhibition centers on Baykam's groundbreaking lenticular works labeled "4Ds" (three dimensions plus time factor), featuring up to 25 layers of depth creating fascinating, dream-like experiences. Also displayed are his large-scale mixed media paintings, intimate works on paper, and his iconic "Art History Map" (2019) – a comprehensive visual chronicle mapping art movements, major artists, and parallel disciplines from the Renaissance to present day.

Baykam, Honorary World President of the International Association of Art and Official Partner of UNESCO, successfully proposed World Art Day (April 15, Leonardo da Vinci's birthday) which became an official UNESCO International Day in 2019.

Adria Becker's”A Layered Approach” & SUKI's“Composition”
Running concurrently, GDCA presents a duo exhibition featuring collage artists Adria Becker and Suki Kuss. The exhibition highlights the intricate, layered world of contemporary collage, both representational and painterly. Works are made with torn fragments of books, magazines, and handmade paper, creating a new narrative.

ADRIA BECKER - Adria's lifelong passion for creating has led her to Oil Painting, Figure Drawing, and Collage. She pours luminous layers of oil paint, draws with fluid strokes of ink and oil stick, and cuts and assembles paper combined with paint to capture the essence of landscapes, florals, and people. Her work is in collections in the United States and Europe.

SUKI uses highly feminine material's including lace, pieces of broken mirrors, and sewing patterns in her collage work creating intimate and peaceful pieces. Selected pieces hang in collections in the US, Canada and Germany.

IAA-USA: Virtual Exhibition "Confluence"
The gallery will also project "Confluence," a virtual exhibition of IAA-USA member artists exploring cultural intersections in digital space, along with a display of Kingsley Aarons' physical work "Brutalist Vector.” The exhibition reflects the IAA-USA's commitment to global dialogue, demonstrating how art connects people across borders and enriches our collective human experience.
