NordArt 2024

Artist: Erdil Yaşaroğlu

 

After completing his major in sculpture at Mimar Sinan University, Yaşaroğlu started out as a professional caricaturist in the '90s. Well-known for his caricatures, the artist has carried his humorous perspective and playful 2D figures over to his figurative sculpture. Equipped with the boundless visual aptitude of a caricaturist, Yaşaroğlu ingests burdensome issues and transforms these into witty and cheerful works of art. The artist brings the initial sketches to life using his technical training, combined with new printing technologies. Ably utilizing classical materials, such as bronze and marble as well as most modern painting and coating techniques, Yaşaroğlu creates original and colourful forms, granting his viewer the opportunity for cheerful and creative contemplation. Considering himself an optimistic storyteller, Yaşaroğlu wants his art to spread hope and sincere joy in

an increasingly pessimistic world.
