Artist Statement
Ceren Oykut’s black and white drawings, which are often created on small scraps of paper, on paper rolls or on large walls, extend the classic techniques in terms of size and space. Focusing on small details, Oykut conveys a condensed image of an ungraspable panorama that explores the absurdity of daily life’s circumstances. Oykut uses the images she produces as a field of study. She creates new stories by cutting and tearing her drawings. Her artistic range expands to drawing performances on stage and regularly implies collaborations with artists from different disciplines.
