In contemporary Turkish tapestry art: An iconographic and Aufhebung-based interpretation of Fırat Neziroğlu’s “Faces in timeless and spaceless void” series

Öz

This study examines Fırat Neziroğlu’s Faces in Timeless and Spaceless Void series through an iconographic approach and within the theoretical framework of Hegel’s concept of Aufhebung. Neziroğlu reinterprets traditional Anatolian kilim weaving techniques through a contemporary aesthetic, transforming the portrait into a “visage” detached from temporal, spatial, and contextual markers. Designed as a qualitative research study, the analysis focuses on five selected works from the series (Su’ret, Like a Virgin Like a Prayer, Aklımın İplerini Saldım, Olga, and Deniz Kızı Eftelya), examined through Panofsky’s three-tier iconographic method. Findings reveal that the artist’s innovative use of monofilament (misina), open-work surfaces, and layered fiber techniques constitute key elements in reshaping the woven pictorial plane. These formal strategies demonstrate how Neziroğlu preserves traditional weaving knowledge while simultaneously transcending it, reflecting Hegel’s notion of Aufhebung, a process of negating, preserving, and elevating tradition. The recurrent emphasis on the gaze, soft tonal transitions, and spatial voids creates a direct field of visual and emotional confrontation between the viewer and the “visage.” Ultimately, the study concludes that Neziroğlu’s weaving practice contributes a distinctive artistic language to contemporary tapestry art by re-signifying traditional materials and techniques within the context of modern artistic expression.
