ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My works explore different topics about self-identity, especially depiction of women and nature. They are mostly about the movement, deformation and transformations of the urban phenomenon from past to present. Especially John Everett Millais and Henri Rousseau's ways of understanding the nature are reinterpreted in my paintings.

Meltem Karakuyu (1986, Turkey) is an award-winning artist living and working in Prague, Czechia. Her works are primarily about the movement, deformation and transformations of the urban phenomenon from past to the present. All this form change within the urban structure consists of layers of lines and form layers that are reconstructed on the abstract plane, just like the layers added during the construction of each new civilization on the previous one. Today, this phenomenon of change from line to paint has begun to be presented with a new expression through the female body.The fact that the place of the female body in the social structure is still being questioned at a time when the world has evolved into a posthuman structure and the hiding instinct that is constantly placed on the woman's self is the starting point of her paintings. Therefore, the effort to transform the body of a woman, which is being kept secret, into a resilient body by the woman, is identified with nature in these paintings. In this sense, the mechanical human body, which does not belong to a certain identity in the posthuman structure, turns into an organic structure this time. The woman, who is expected to be constantly passive, undergoes the change she desires by building a new space where she can make herself active through her paintings. The artist started to work as a Research Assistant in Uludağ University Fine Arts Education Department in 2009. She received the title of Associate Professor in 2019. She currently lives in Czechia and takes place in many national and international science and art events, prioritizing her academician approach.
