Born in 1970, in Konya, Turkey, Zümrütoğlu graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir in 1996. Following his graduation, Zümrütoğlu continued his studies in Belgium and the Netherlands, whereby he was exposed to the influence and enduring qualities of European painting. Indeed, Zümrütoğlu’s work embraces the dehumanisation of modernity, inviting us to peer into this window of the subconscious. Zümrütoğlu reminds us of the fragility of human existence, revealing a narrative steeped in the depths of psychological anxiety and pollutions of the mind. As such, Zümrütoğlu’s work beautifully captures the dysmorphic unease of the German Expressionists; the anxieties of modern life descend onto the canvas in a single chaotic tension, welcoming the viewer into this circus of Boschian proportions, no doubt in reference, perhaps, to Zümrütoğlu’s time spent in Europe.Zümrütoğlu’s blunt expression of form and heavily impastoed canvases become a motif for the chaotic, an affliction which creates further unease. Zümrütoğlu is an established artist who lives and works between Istanbul and Berlin.
