Artist Profile

Bahar Oskay
Turkish visual artist
Bahar Artan Oskay was born in 1984 in Istanbul, Turkey. In her early years, Oskay interpreted the works of great masters of modern art while studying popular culture. These artists range from Mondrian to Matisse, from Picasso to Guin. She absorbed and appropriated the works of these artists and brought popular art to the agenda with an original point of view. In the later periods, besides the interpretation of popular works of art, she entered a long period of research and made efforts in order to reproduce her feelings, inspiration and her individual signs in a minimalistic way. The artist is now in the process of reinterpreting her own art by cutting, destroying and re-composing her old paintings under the influence of the inevitable nature of artistic change with a method that the result cannot be predicted.
