Revan Karaca

Revan Karaca is an emerging artist based in Leipzig, a city with a vibrant art scene in former eastern Germany.

Growing up as a first-generation Turkish-German born to Turkish immigrants, she experienced the well-known identity struggles and discrimination faced by Turkish-Germans, which helped her develop her critical eye for political and societal issues.

Her exceptional painting talent was already evident from a very early age and over the years she has worked with a variety of media.

Revan Karaca is a political artist who engages with the controversial issues of our time. In her work, she creates highly realistic paintings that emanate her passion for controversy while at the same time display her intellectual depth and ironic sense of humor. Through her art, she provokes dialogue on politics, sociocultural topics, and the silenced, uncomfortable responsibilities within our power systems.

Revan Karaca studied computer science, psychology, and philosophy, and began creating work exploring social belonging and cultural identity from a young age. Since 2022, she has been mentored by the American painter Casey McKee.
