About the Item

Ardan Ozmenoglu is a mixed-media contemporary artist characterized by her original use of medium, design, and content. Since her first exhibition in 2006, her work has been featured in over forty exhibitions in the USA and abroad, including Istanbul, Basel, Berlin, London, and Milan. Her works can also be found in important collections internationally, such as the Frankfurt Airport Collection, Osthaus Museum Hagen Collection, Kala Art Institute Collection, Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, UniCredit Bank Art Collection, and the Istanbul Modern Collection, amongst others. She is recognized for her distinct usage of Post-it notes in an attempt to depict her everyday life living/working in Istanbul. Her technique involves adhering an array of post-it notes to her canvases as a base, topped by silk-screened vibrant imagery derived from popular culture. The result is a three-dimensional surface, adding a sense of depth and dimension to her work. The process of making a screen print is both precise and experimental, requiring careful preparation yet simultaneously allowing for unplanned elements to enter the composition, such as accidental smudges and spills that remain an essential part of the finished piece. It is the double nature of the screen-printing process, its orientation to technological precision, and its openness to change that makes her works fascinating. keywords: dollar, bill, pink, green, post-it, paper, collage, silkscreen, money, layers, reflection, dimensional, contemporary, figurative, pop art, New York, interior design
