Hasan Aksaygın,

(b. 1986, Nicosia - pronouns: he/his) critically explores personal and collective pasts, history, and (post-)memory from an outsider perspective within dominant knowledge systems. His research-based and conceptual artworks span wooden panels, site-specific wall paintings, sculptural objects, and (para-)fictional short stories. Aksaygın's visual and textual practice draws on the history of two-dimensional image-making and its Abrahamic connections to (Neo-)Platonic and Aristotelian thought, reflecting on how these influences shape contemporary visual culture and the ongoing tension between iconodulism and iconoclasm.
