Yüksel Arslan
Yüksel Arslan (born July 27, 1933 in Istanbul , † April 20, 2017 in Paris ) was a Turkish-French artist living in Paris .
Life
Yüksel Arslan attended from 1949 to 1952 as the German school abroad recognized İstanbul Lisesi . He then studied art history at Istanbul University . During this time he got to know works by Paul Klee , André Breton and Jean Dubuffet , among others , and began to create his own works of art in the late 1950s. In 1962 he emigrated to France for political reasons. He lived and worked in Paris ever since.
He called his works artures , a combination of art and littérature . They are mostly small-scale combinations of colored drawings or paintings on paper with written sections that convey a collage-like impression. The art world only became aware of him since a retrospective at the Santralistanbul cultural center in the Eyup district of Istanbul in 2009, although he has long been valued in private collections in Turkey. This was followed in 2012 by an exhibition curated by Oliver Zybok at the Kunsthalle Zürich , the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and the Kunsthalle Wien .
