http://www.serkanyuksel.net/

Serkan Yüksel studied for two years at Trakya University Faculty of Education and graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Sculpture, which he entered in 1998, in 2002. Between the years 2006 and 2009, he completed his master’s degree at Marmara University Department of Sculpture.

The artist’s works generally comprise the metaphors of daily life, politics, and an unhealthy society which experiences tension in intellectual and emotional expression. He starts with patterns and creates works that utilize other techniques such as collage in his artistic journey. He uses the patterns from 1970s and ‘80s fashion magazines as well as old newspapers, printed materials, and visuals. He aims to remember and to remind by creating works with an ironic expression through certain concepts.
