EDADURUST - EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?

My works derive from the notion that “everything is not what it seems”. In my works I try to prove that there is more than the tip of the iceberg. Firstly is that I want the viewers focus to be on the object rather than the background. The object itself is very complex so I believe that having a dynamic background fades out the main subject. This is why I use vivid colours for my backgrounds. I think my work can be described as minimal, classic and all in all simple.

WHAT DOES YOUR ART FOCUS ON?

I try to match subjects that are unexpected, to see objects from another point of view.
My aim is to somehow try to shock and amuse the followers.

WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR IMAGINATION?

Observation. Before sitting in front of my laptop, I tend to look around, explore objects, shapes and people.

WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

I am currently living in London, but I am from Istanbul.
