Story

Cicek Gallery is an independent art gallery, founded in 2021 by artist and entrepreneur Berfin Cicek.

 

The gallery champions emerging artists yet to be discovered by the world, with a specific focus on artists from underrepresented demographics. These include artists of different ethnic minorities, artists from LGBTQ+ communities, and female artists. 

 

Working with a limited number of artists allows the gallery to build their exposure within the art market and enables collectors access to a carefully curated exhibition programme.

 

We are an online based gallery and organise physical pop-up exhibitions across UK and abroad. We also hold online exhibitions on our 'Viewing Room' page. Join our mailing list to stay in the loop with the  next upcoming shows!

    Founder, Gallery Director & Artist

    Berfin Cicek is an emerging artist from London, and has personally experienced the obstacles faced by contemporary artists. She recognises that marginalised communities suffer a disproportionate lack of opportunity to find success within the industry.

    Berfin wants to revolutionise how galleries meet artists’ needs. The intentions upon which Cicek Gallery was founded are:

     

    - To support underrepresented artists establish themselves within the art market, giving them the exposure and value they deserve.

     

    - To found a platform where real artists meet real collectors, with a competitive commission structure that prioritises the artist’s financial returns.
