After graduating from Marmara University, Painting Department and completing the Sufficiency in Arts Program in Yıldız Technical University (in 2013), Hepsev had the following exhibitions at x-ist: “Intersection I” (2005), “The Null Element” (2007), “Some Wrongs Do Make a Right” (2008), “Everyone is a Kid at a Kids’ Birthday Party” (2011), “Disguise” (2013), “a mountain on a finger, a mountain in the anus, a mountain on top of an elephant” (2015) and “Sirens and Mermaids” (2017).

 

Her drawing exhibition “A Lot of Tango” took place in IMC 5533 (Istanbul) in 2012. Hepsev participated in many international exhibitions and art fairs such as “stay with me” (DEPO, Istanbul, 2015), “A new hook. Rethinking Needlework” (Switzerland, 2011), “Istanbul Now” (Vienna, 2007), “Art Dulcinium” (Serbia, 2005), 11th Biennial of Young Artists of Europe and the Mediterranean (Athens, 2003), “Istanbul’s Doors” (Amiens, 1999), “Young Expansions” (Pera Museum, 2005), Contemporary Istanbul’07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15, St-art 2009 (14th European Contemporary Art Fair, Strasbourg, France), Vienna Art Fair 2011, Art Beat 2011 (Istanbul), VIP Art Fair 2012, SCOPE Basel 2010 & 2012, ArtInternational 2014 (Istanbul).

 

Hepsev took place in the artist residency program at Cite International des Arts (Paris) in 2011 and also exhibited her work in the group show “Dream & Reality” at The Istanbul Museum of Modern Art (2011 - 2012). Hepsev was invited as a visiting artist by OG9 Zurich Kunsthaus Aussersihl where she exhibited her project titled “Clocks”. In 2015, she exhibited her solo project "Hands on Hips" at Kunstkasten (Zurich, Switzerland) and participated in the group show titled "Challenging Identities" (Concordia, Enschede, Hollanda), Seda Hepsev is featured in the book “Unleashed: Contemporary Art from Turkey” first published in 2010.

Seda Hepsev works on various media such as painting, drawing, artist books and embroidery. The context of her works goes to two distinctive directions. One of her focus is on gender issues, focus on gender roles, fragility of social institutions like family, education and urban life.

popular culture and ordinary practices from everyday life are some of the major subjects of her works.. And on the other side works that deal with specific and exact social, defined roles for man and woman. I see a great value in works that are hand made, textiles and authentic character of folk art, naive oriented painters and their engagement with different hand made materials. I use my intuitive ability to guide the creation of my work, which may be the main similarity between my work and craft.
