Belgin Bozsahin

I was born and brought up in Istanbul, Turkey and have been living in London for almost three decades . I have exhibited in Istanbul, London, Bergen and on the QE2 liner. Many of my works are in private collections in Turkey, UK, Ireland, Portugal, Oman and the USA. Drawing on the themes of existence, self and identity I create sculptural ceramic works, installations and wall pieces. Working with such powerful themes, I am able to draw on personal understanding and knowledge that helps me relate and communicate with others. My work examines the notion of continuing evolution and change; that things are not perfectly smooth, spotless or still. It is about the contrast between inside and out and the tension this creates. In recent years I have been working to create surfaces with layers and textures in order to capture a sense of accumulation and seeking to get sense of sight through hidden spaces on surfaces. This has evolved into the making of several collections within the category of the “Wall works”. I continually exhibit my work. Please see my website/news page to find out where I am showing next.
