FATİH TEMİZ

Fatih Temiz (b. 1991) attempts to interpret images through the lens of environment, space, time, and social relations. By stripping the image of its acquired semantic dimension from the dimensions of social environment, space, and time, he re-engages the image with the viewer. He reproduces the existing image using drawing, the most fundamental technique of painting, which is simple and far larger than life. He abstracts the reproduced images from the social, political, and political realities, manipulating the judgmental and perceptual meanings society has imposed on them, thus prompting us to rethink them. Instead of reproducing images, he deconstructs existing human prototypes by detaching them from spatial and temporal contexts, thus textualizing the image. The viewer is no longer confronted with a politicized image, but rather with the image they themselves have created.
