Ansen
Alliance
09 May - 15 Jun 2013
“Alliance”, the 6th solo exhibition of Ansen who is one of the most prominent young artsists of the contemporary Turkish art, is opening at x-ist on May, 9th. In his works, which have been influential both domestically and internationally, Ansen transforms mundane daily objects that might otherwise escape our attention, composing new narratives with ironic commentary by active manipulation in a digital environment. The artist, who combines the approaches of painting, sculpture and photography, sometimes questions a political or social issue or creates his own story and characters.
