All Great Ideas Start in a Garage 9 - 15 Oct 2023 Cicek Gallery is back in Soho with the new exhibition ‘All Great Ideas Start in a Garage’ in a converted garage from 09 – 15 October!
“All Great Ideas Start in a Garage” shows how a magnitude of innovation and creativity often emerges from humble beginnings. From Microsoft to Nirvana, so many iconic cultural concepts originated in the unassuming space of a converted garage. Through a diverse array of artworks, this exhibition illustrates that creative journey of transformation from the initial sparks of imagination to the eventual realisation of an unique vision, exploring the relationship between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
At this show during Frieze week we will display stunning art works by the artists: Abi Joy Samuel, Alla Samarina, Annam Butt, Berfin Cicek, Conor Quinn, Emma O’Rourke, Fía Yang, Naila Hazell.
Our founder and artist Berfin Cicek will collaborate with guest fashion designer Laura Pitharas, creating a unique art piece live on site on a LP suit, which will only be on display during the private view.
Our PV will be held 6-9pm on 12th October with the artists on site, DJs on the deck and cold bevvies. Read more -

Politics of Charm 20 - 29 Oct 2022 Cicek Gallery delighted to present its first collective art exhibition ‘Politics of Charm: Women, BAME, Queers and Progress’ in 13 Soho Square, London. The exhibition was held between 20th-29th October 2022. ‘Politics of Charm’ will display original artworks from Abi Joy Samuel, Alla Samarina, Annam Butt, Berfin Cicek, Fia Yang, Kay Gasei and Naila Hazell.
The show brought together seven artists of different ethnic minority groups, with majority being women and from the LGBTQ+ community, in a bid to blend out the imbalances in the art world. For centuries, artists from BAME, female and LGBTQ+ communities have been brushed underneath the carpet. This show is aimed to disrupt the old-fashioned construct of art institutions and bring a breath of fresh air. Each artists works are in conversation with each other to showcase their contrasting styles, highlighting each other’s beauty and finding resonance in their differences. Almost a reflection of London under one roof, the charm each artist pours onto the canvases from their unique cultures, upbringings and experiences is a progress, driving more awareness to broader voices, which in turn increases the richness in our world. From abstract, figurative, cubism to classical – our artists will take you on a vibrant cosmopolitan journey from mythical references to orientalism.
We are proud to announce our Main Sponsor of the exhibition is Simmons & Simmons – a global law firm committed to diversity and celebrating art from blue chip to emerging artists since the 80s.
A special thanks to our sponsors of the events – Zavi Restaurant, Dalston’s Soda, Nice Drinks, CanO Water, Moth Cocktails, Siren Craft Beer Brewery. Read more
