İRFAN ÖNÜRMEN TURKEY, b. 1958
BIOGRAPHY
İrfan Önürmen lives and works in Istanbul, Turkey. He has been represented by C24 Gallery since 2012, and during that time, he has had five solo exhibitions of his work and been shown at 15 international art fairs. Önürmen addresses the impact of mass media on human experience and its visual representation through collage, painting, and sculpture. His work investigates questions of identity amidst the pressures of everyday living, and the swirl of changing political and cultural circumstances. He is particularly well-known for his groundbreaking, three-dimensional tulle constructions, made from sewn-together shapes that he cuts from different colored pieces of tulle. His work has been a fair favorite for years at Contemporary Istanbul, and is found in numerous collections including the Istanbul Modern Museum in Turkey and the Leon Black Collection in the United States.
