Doğum: İSTANBUL, 1984


In 2010, Burçin Başar graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Painting Department. Between 2007 and 2008, she continued her education at National Academy of Art in Sofia, Bulgaria. Among the exhibitions and art fairs Başar participated in are “Beginning” (Getronagan High School Alumni Association, Istanbul, 2013), “in search for the new” and “Art 7/24 - Vol. 2” (Armaggan Art & Design Gallery, Istanbul, 2013), “Young Fresh Different” (cda-projects, Istanbul, 2010), “11th International Young Painters Exhibition” (CKM, Istanbul, 2009), “Intersection V” (x-ist, Istanbul, 2013), “x-tension” (Office 4200, Bursa, 2015) and, “Variations on An Andalusian Dog” (x-ist, 2015).

Başar had her first solo show titled “Retrace” at x-ist in 2015 and her second solo exhibition titled ’Ravenous’ at x-ist in 2017. 

Başar participated in Art14 London, ArtInternational 2015 and Contemporary Istanbul’10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17. In 2013, Başar received honorable mention at SVA (School of Visual Arts, NY) Summer Residency Scholarship program by Moon and Stars Project.

Burçin Başar examines identity issues, social events, and the ideological structures imposed upon humankind by political processes. She embeds elements of horror and mystery into her works in addition to social violence and psychological reflections generated by pressure and chaos and researches sociological, psychological, and political structures and how they influence one another. Memory-related issues and the existential problems experienced behind political games are among the elements the artist is sensitive about and mentally includes in her creative process. Başar’s abstract imagery is shaped by her research on the problems she’s investigating (on large or very small scales). The artist’s approach proceeds from individual stories to generality, that are occasionally intertwined. Mostly interested in painting, Başar includes various mediums and materials such as sculpture, video, and installation into her artistic practice.
