Syrian artist Ismail Nasra is currently preparing to hold his first individual gallery in Turkey after his successful contribution along with five other Syrian artists in the Istanbul International Modern Art Exhibition, which was held in early December.

Nasra said that the company organizing the Syrian pavilion at Istanbul Exhibition was encouraged to hold individual galleries due to the popularity of Syrian works at the Exhibition, which why they will be organizing an individual gallery of Nasra's works early in 2010.

Istanbul International Modern Art Exhibition is the most important annual contemporary and modern art event in Turkey, with participation of several Turkish and international galleries, artists and art fans.

This year's exhibition marks the first Syrian participation, with the Syrian pavilion being a guest of honor and receiving unprecedented interest and turnout.

Syrian artists who participated in the exhibition are painters Ismail Nasra, Sarah Shamma, Ahmad Mualla, Hasko Hasko and sculptors Ghazwan Alaaf and Mustafa Ali. (SANA)
