Özgül Arslan

Özgül Arslan has been actively engaged in artistic production since the late 1990s. She graduated from Marmara University’s Faculty of Fine Arts with a degree in Painting in 1998, followed by a pedagogical formation qualification from the same institution. Since 2001, she has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions worldwide, including Analogy, 2+1, Erased Traces, How Many Steps Does Far Take!, Exposure, and Aesthetical Interference. She works and lives in London. With over twenty years of experience as an art educator, Arslan has worked extensively with children and young people, developing exhibition projects and facilitating multidisciplinary production approaches. Her artistic practice explores the conceptual and formal relationships between the body, objects, and space, considering the dynamics of distance, contact, and transformation within both personal and societal contexts. Embracing a conceptual and formal multidisciplinary, pluralistic hybrid narrative, her works, exhibited in public spaces and site-specific installations, document the process of showcasing and the audience's interactions. Arslan's artistic expression spans various media, including drawing, painting, textiles, printmaking, digital photography, video, ready-made objects, site-specific performances, and installations centred around contemporary themes.
