Gungor Yuksel

Born in Trabzon, Turkey in 1986, Güngör Yüksel began his art education in 2009 at the Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Sculpture, and completed his undergraduate studies in 2015. He then deepened his artistic research by completing his master's degree at Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts between 2016 and 2019. While primarily working on figurative sculpture during his undergraduate studies, Yüksel transformed his artistic approach after his master's degree, turning to abstract sculpture works inspired by architectural forms and created using metal materials. Focusing on the relationship between form, material, and space in his art practice, Yüksel continues his productions with an interdisciplinary approach.
