IŞIL ACAR

Işıl Acar (b. 1994, İstanbul) Through the use of figures, Işıl Acar aims to challenge societal beauty standards and encourage viewers to see the body as a subject, rather than as an object. The process of creating her figures is deeply personal, serving as a form of healing and self-discovery. Acar's paintings represent a form of resistance against societal pressure to conform to certain standards of beauty and body type. Her works invites viewers to consider the psychological and philosophical aspects of the body and how it relates to the self and society, while also raising questions about representation and visibility in shaping societal norms and expectations.
