TAMER ŞAHINOĞLU// TURKEY
Introducing our newest guest painter, Tamer Sahinoglu. Born in Turkey, in 1962. Since his childhood, Sahinoglu has shown an interest in every aspect of art and began enhancing his painting skills in his childhood home in Istanbul.
Meeting a famous art historian named Sezer Tansug in 1985 allowed him to kickstart his art career. Tansug was captivated by Sahinoglu’s work which led to Tansug recommending Sahinoglu to well-renowned artists such as Fahir Aksoy, Ibrahim Balaban, Mehmet Pesen, and Nedim Gunsur. This presented Sahinoglu with new opportunities such as meeting with these artists and working alongside them. In 1990, Sahinoglu joined these artists in what would be his first joint exhibition.
Sahinoglu has been involved in over 50 joint exhibitions in his lifetime and presented his first solo exhibition to art fans in 1995 at Beyoglu Art Gallery in Istanbul. Since then, Tamer Sahinoglu has presented 4 additional solo exhibitions in Istanbul.

After moving to Aegean town Bodrum in 1999, he continued his work with diversified experiments with multiple disciplines, stating that he does not subscribe to a specific discipline or art style.
Although, it has been observed that the work in his recent exhibitions suggests that his style leans more towards abstract art.
Tamer Sahinoglu is inspired by the multicultural and rich history of Turkey, which is an important aspect of his artwork. He is also motivated by the extensive archeological wealth of a country that has been home to many different civilizations.
Sahinoglu’s work touches on themes such as the bi-continental nature of Turkey and its maritime importance.
Using various techniques such as airbrush, impasto, and spatula simultaneously, Sahinoglu has been able to capture the attention of art fans with his storytelling and use of themes and vibrant colors. Sahinoglu has always insisted that a large part of his artwork is inspired by the vegetation cover and local architecture that surrounds him in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey. The cactuses, fishes, boatyards, boats, white houses, and light rays that are abundant in the Aegean, have always been a source of inspiration for Tamer Sahinoglu. The way he portrays these themes with his imaginative spatula technique is an important aspect of his unique art style.
Sahinoglu allows the audience to elicit the concepts he is trying to portray, rather than explicitly presenting them – this has resulted in him gaining respect among critics and art historians.
He supplies seasoned art fans with novel discoveries as he not only illustrates the objective aspects of his work but also uses experimental methods to portray his artwork. Sahinoglu, whose artwork has been collected by art lovers in countries such as the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Belgium, China, the U.S.A., Canada, and Greece, continues his work in his atelier at Bodrum.
