Yasin Uysallar
Born in Antalya in 1993. Yasin Uysallar completed his undergraduate education at Dokuz Eylül Fine Arts University, Department of Sculpture. The young artist, who is pursuing his master’s degree at the same university, uses industrial materials such as silicone, plaster, concrete, bronze, aluminum, brass, polymer clay, play dough, polyurethane, epoxy, resin, polyester, acrylic, plastic and pigment to achieve the flexibility effect he seeks in his production. It selects the material according to the form structure it wants to produce.
Uysallar, who creates new people by combining different body limbs in their productions, is based on human depictions of the period in which he lived as a subject in his productions. The characters he creates in his sculptures present the colors and compositions of another world with the influence of the material itself. The human figures in his sculptures form a link between the past and the future, truth and lies. He expresses his inner and outer world in his sculptures, where he uses both abstract and realist elements together. The effect it uses in its colors and compositions presents a new person and a new world. The artist continues his work in his personal workshop in Izmir.
