Ebru Uygun
Turkish artist Ebru Uygun , born in Istambul in 1974, develops a complex way of handling the medium of painting. She paints in a way of action painting, then deconstructing her work , by tearing the canvas into strips, , she starts a new sequence by collaging these strips onto a new canvas. The process of fragmentation and synthesis gives rise to abstract constellations , reminiscent of arabic calligraphy . Ebru Uygun has been exhibited in and collected by several turkish and european museums, among which a solo exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich, Switzerland . 1995 - 1998 BA, Brighton University, Illustration, England 1994 - 1995 Kingston University, Art and Design, England SELECTED SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2011 Lucid Dreaming, Green Art Gallery, Dubai, UAE 2009 Time For A Dream, Dirimart, Istanbul, Turkey 2006 Trace, Mac Art Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey 2005 Breath, Mac Art Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey 2003 Things, C.A.M Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey 2001 Siyah-Beyaz Gallery, Ankara, Turkey 2000 C.A.M Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey SELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS 2011 Confessions of Dangerous Minds, Saatchi Gallery, London, England 2010 İstanbul Cool: Turkish Contemporary Art at Close Proximity, New York, USA 2009 "Soul Revealing Istanbul", Contemporary Turkish Art Exhibition II, Wingrow Art Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan 2009 Dirimart Presents I, Dirimart, Istanbul, Turkey 2009 Dirimart Presents II, Dirimart, Istanbul, Turkey 2009 Marlborough Gallery, New York, USA 2008 Breaking Egos, C.A.M Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey 2007 Coco Kühn & Ebru Uygun, Dirimart, Istanbul, Turkey 2007 Still Life, Galerist, Istanbul, Turkey 2004 Meeting Point, C.A.M Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey 2002 Breeze to the Future, Sabancı University, KASA Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey 2002 Complicité, Dirimart, Istanbul, Turkey Back |
