Ayça Telgeren

Ayça Telgeren (b. 1975, Gölcük) focuses on what is intuitively known and commonly felt. The artist – starting with what is personal to her, her own archeology – tries to reach a pool of collective memory. The artist is widely known for her hand-cut works that she adopts as a natural form of expression. However Telgeren’s works demonstrate wide variety of materials and techniques that shape according to the needs of her current subject matter, ranging from metal, gas concrete, concrete sculptures, to video and peinture. Telgeren completed her BA and MA in Painting at Mimar Sinan Faculty of Fine Arts. Having participated in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, the artist currently lives and works in Istanbul.
