This three piece series aims to linger on the moment before something "final" is
about to happen, the milk is about to be spilled, the glass is about to break.
It forces us to stop and absorb the effect and tension of that impending change,
making us wonder what will follow and is there any reality once the inevitable
happens.

Three States of Milk

Sculptures of the first kind, with light, glow only at night or when it is dark indoors because this is how solar panels work. During the day, without illumination, the sculptures have one appearance and charge the battery, and at night they look different because they are perceived together with the light they emit.

An Osteoborg is a sort of bone-robot. This one has been evolving for a very long time, and has no memory of its origin. Its integrated into its environment and is perhaps gestating new copies of itself as nodules on its legs.

“Smoking Kills” uses smoking to question the relationship between fashion and human culture. Historically, cigarette companies paid movie production companies to show smoking on screen. Now, smoking has become a symbol for sex and fashion while also being the leading cause for lung cancer. The piece explores the separation between social life and longevity.

Interlude

I must admit being an artist in isolation was a blessing to me. 
All the efforts, expectations, force , fear of embarrassment or failure just fall away in the face of a global crisis.
Taking a break of  everything leaving only what is truly important.

I am submitting my works reflecting inner conflicts but also dreamy moments while being alone with myself.

Taking Time

Columbine

Among different cultures and mythologies, the moon is one of the very few celestial bodies to which different genders were assigned. For example, in my homeland (Istanbul, Turkey) moon is perceived as a male figure ("ay dede"), whereas in ancient Rome it was embodied as the goddess “Luna”. Thus, I attribute the genderless identity to the Moon as a celebration of the non-binary gender spectrum.

Moon: Genderless

Some experiences of the artist are often reflected in his art. Especially the curfew during his childhood in Yugoslavia shaped by the Balkan war came to the forefront recently due to parallels to the current „quarantine-life” during COVID: the feeling of loss, confusion and uncertainty when confined to our trusted space. He is to convey a transcendent calm and order in these artworks. Something eternal amidst troubling times. Textures and forms of his childhood are a strong influence. Such as roughly woven linens of military tents, basic motifs of folk-art and the bold shapes of brutalist architecture in post-war Yugoslavia. OP-Art, with its repetition of geometric shapes is a salient inspiration. He uses strongly abstrahising forms and muted colours. Such austerity underlines the calm atmosphere of his works. Contrasts and clashes define his art. These works are digitally designed, yet he uses traditional printing techniques and materials. This duality emphasizes the tresholds of cyber-space and reality, of digital and human connections. Contrasts between light and dark, between contained forms and disruptive lines express calm and upset, freedom and confinement, life and death.

MEMORA

Mixed media installation. Refuge describes a shelter from pursuit or danger. A moment, place or time where surrounding and mounting pressures and fears are obscured. A gilded archway where one may take cover and reflect.

The figures in this image intended to capture the interaction that might be found in a city’s streets, but were taken out of their environment to highlight movement and make it relatable to all current settings as crowds and large gatherings were generally not occurring due to lockdowns.  

Mementos of a Past Life, No. 2

When I considered the theme of this exhibition what felt most relevant was considering what in my practice has been worked on when I was younger but have come back to, and what I work on in little snippets of time. I’ve recently come to back to collage, and over the past several months I find myself working on them here and there. I give myself small goals at work, and then work on collages for a few moments. Oddly, at work is sometimes when I have more time to create Art as my 3 year old has left little time for creation. I feel like that might be changing as we have begun to work on scissors skills and I hope that sometime soon he and I will be building these collages together.
