"Standing" Print - Limited Edition of 5

Serdar Akdeniz is a contemporary visual artist working through surface, time, material processes, and transformation. His works begin not with predetermined images, but with material conditions through which images can emerge. The artist's role is to establish these conditions rather than to prescribe their outcome. Drawing does not illustrate the effects of time; it enters into processes already unfolding through the behavior of surfaces, materials, and chance. These formations may continue through layered physical and digital processes, extending the work into another material language rather than reproducing its initial appearance.

Time, in these works, is not linear but accumulative. It does not pass; it acts. Surface becomes the place where this action is made visible. What appears as erosion or decay is approached not as loss, but as a form of maturation — a slow emergence of complexity and depth.

Rather than depicting subjects, the works evolve through the interaction of time, material behavior, and accumulated traces. Materials are treated not as passive media but as active participants whose behavior contributes to the formation of each work.

Further works, writings, and Studio Notes on the physical processes behind the work are available through Minimal Poise, the artist’s website.

His work has been published in Arty Rat Magazine (Issue #3, 2026) and was preselected for the international BUAT Curatorial Award 2026 (Barcelona, Spain).

Print Production & Collector Care
Made to Order. Personally Approved.

Each limited-edition fine-art print by Serdar Akdeniz is produced on demand, specifically for the collector who acquires it.

The artist's print-on-demand approach is based on a simple principle: the archival life of a newly produced print should begin as close as reasonably possible to the moment it enters a collection.

Each print is produced using archival pigment inks on selected Hahnemühle FineArt paper through a Hahnemühle-authorized fine-art printing studio, working within Hahnemühle's professional standards for FineArt printing. The finished print is then transported to the artist for final physical inspection.

The Artist's Final Approval

After production, each print is physically inspected by the artist, with particular attention to colour, tonal balance, density, detail, surface appearance and overall fidelity to the intended artwork.
