Hüseyin Rüstemoğlu

He was born in 1981 in Bursa. In 2006, he graduated from Sakarya University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting. Sakarya University Institute of Social Sciences, Department of Painting, completed his master’s degree in 2012 with the thesis “Nudity and Eroticism in Modern Painting Art”. In his paintings, the artist separates the individual from the society and draws attention to his other structure, and while doing this, he de-identifies the individual.

It strips the individual who is the same with social processes and gives isolation from society and internal conflict through their bodies. Human existence anxiety is questioned in studies based on the concepts of loneliness, alienation, lack of belongingness, and loneliness.

It bends the bodies or limbs in order to make visible the psychological tensions created by the concepts of lack of identity, nothingness, emptiness, frozen, numbness, leaving, leaving, giving up, in the individual, if it shrinks and hides it. In his works, in which he also transformed his own body into an object, the relationship between figure-body-body, which is generally found in abstract spaces, was depicted within the framework of the existence problematic. The artist, whose works have been exhibited in many fairs, personal and group exhibitions, continues his life and work in Istanbul. Some of the artist’s works take place in various private collections, including the Luciano Benetton Fondation.
