Hilmi Can Özdemir

Hilmi Can Özdemir (b. 1995, Eskişehir) takes the visual language of old analog photographs as his starting point in his painting practice. He reassembles collages created by bringing together different photographs through his own aesthetic sensibility, thereby constructing a reality that is authentic yet fictional. The oil paint he uses on large canvases transcends the documentary nature of photography, lending a theatrical depth to the painting. Özdemir’s approach is far from hyperrealism, but is based on a pictorial language that preserves the emotional intensity of realism. The artist’s works depart from the universality of art; they invite conceptual inferences through indirect symbols and staging. Objects and figures offer clues that invite the viewer’s own interpretation rather than a direct message. In Özdemir’s paintings, light evokes the dramatic effect of photography, while the freshness of colors and the constructed nature of the scenes create a timeless atmosphere.

After graduating from Eskişehir Fine Arts High School, the artist graduated from the Painting Department of Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts in 2018 and opened his first solo exhibition, “Paradoxia,” at Ambidexter Gallery in 2023. Özdemir, who has participated in various group exhibitions, continues his work in his studio in Eskişehir. He is represented by Ambidexter Gallery at exhibitions in Turkey and internationally.

Rosalie Aleksandra Anter

Born in Istanbul in 1996, raised in the United States, Rosalie Aleksandra seeks to understand concepts of roots, identity, persona, communication and connection between one another. Spending her childhood in a warm and loving community, and then moving into a more individualized, independent manner of connection, she learned to expand within the freedom while also yearning for the intimacy of her past life.

Studying interdisciplinary fine arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, Rosalie Aleksandra dabbled in a wide array of media from photography to sculpture to drawing. Questioning what it is to draw or what it is to make, she became interested in the process itself, and in creating a softer line between the art and the viewer.

Having participated in exhibitions around the world including the US, Israel, Turkey, and an art fair in Saatchi Gallery in London, ‘Living Room / Salon’ at Arthan Gallery, Istanbul marks her first solo show.

“The work is about the human fight to be, to feel, and to release. Essentially it’s a portrait of a human’s, a young woman’s, state of aloneness and tenderness in response to the stimulation and events of the outer world. Almost like the penetration of a tree by outer forces and how the tree responds to the strokes or happenings around it, I respond to the world through my pieces. “
