The works in the exhibition will identify today’s conditions and examine the methods of escaping and coping from the inside.

Ekin Saçlıoğlu with her First Solo Exhibition Partially at .artSümer between 18 March – 6 May
Literally; The word “part”, which represents each of the things that separate from, remain, or form the whole when combined, allows different readings in Ekin Saçlıoğlu’s works in her new exhibition. The word finds its counterpart in the studies, representing the difficulty of the individual in positioning himself in the whole in the rapidly flowing time. It can refer to the things that split as a result of the dominant power of the triggers, to the colorful but equally uncanny-looking structures.
Dualities such as animate-inanimate, real-fiction, object-subject, nature-human, organic-inorganic, which are frequently seen in Saçlıoğlu’s works, come to the fore once again with the artist’s inner experience during the pandemic period and the articulation of the house phenomenon. Familiar but amorphous structures gain a new perspective in paintings and sculptures where different materials come together to create hybrid textures. The colored pulp forms intertwined with the geometric elements and used furniture in the paintings symbolically represent the artist himself and his family.
In addition to the artist’s non-anthropocentric perspective, which stands out in These Are Not Fables Children (2017), Remains of the Earth and New Flowers (2018) exhibitions, different materials in the Acayip Yapı (2018) series, which include sculptures and large-size patterns, come together to create a structure. The idea that these structures are disassembled and turned into sediments, and that the remaining parts come together again in time to form new wholes, both familiar and different, constitutes the development stages of the works in Parcel.
Ekin Saçlıoğlu, who produces with a rich variety of materials in different disciplines such as painting, sculpture, design, installation, focuses on a wide variety of dualities, inversions, memory and memories, dreams, stories, animals and plants, and the relationships between different species and worlds, It continues to live through the new hybrid forms and thoughts that come together in Partial.
