Kudret Gezer
As a young boy, Kudret was fascinated by older brother Sevket's carvings. In
1977, at the age of twelve, Kudret began two years of intense study under
the brother. After completing his apprenticeship, he was an independent
carver of small pipes for the Turkish market. In 1985, Kudret and
younger brother Mesut formed a partnership with Sevket that lasted five
years. It was during this period that a new era of Kudret carving
began to emerge. Today, his distinctive portraits, with their unusual
floral work, are highly prized. Many of the medallion pipes carry
his signature, as well.
