Buket Kabanoz

Based in Istanbul, Buket Kabanoz is a contemporary artist whose work operates within the liminal spaces of human consciousness. Her practice is an exploration of the "Uncanny" those buried, visceral sensations that remain dormant in the depths of the mind until they are confronted on canvas.

Her paintings do not merely depict dreams; they act as a catalyst for recognition. By weaving together anatomical surrealism with distorted, evocative motifs, she brings to the surface those unsettling thoughts we often fail to name, yet instantly recognize upon seeing. Her work invites the viewer into a collective subconscious journey, where the imagery feels hauntingly familiar, as if echoing a long-forgotten feeling or a suppressed intuition.

Working primarily with oil, acrylic, and mixed media, Buket transforms the disturbing into a profound aesthetic experience. Her art is a mirror to the inner self, forcing a confrontation with the shared vulnerabilities and primal instincts that define the human condition.
