Şener Özmen: There is a way out

PİLOT is hosting the new solo exhibition of Şener Özmen, a writer and well-known figure of contemporary art. Entitled There is a way out, the exhibition features the artist’s latest works between September 1 and October 10, 2015.

Şener Özmen questions whether there are certainties in current circumstances and situations, authoritarian structures and taboos that reign in our lives, through his wit and sense of humor, a lucid aesthetics and his critical, provocative style. Özmen’s refined and lyrical works directs our attention to the perception of and changes in the context of art, and throws a critical glance at the social reality issues that the artist reacts against through his artistic attitude.

Özmen questions both his own reality as an artist and looks at the ways art handles subjects of significance. Embracing materials he has not used before, like concrete, metal and light-box, Özmen signals a new language and phase in his artistic practice.
