In her works, Bas\u0327ak Bugay explores ways to represent the relationship between the psychic constructions of the subject and the collective unconscious. Using a wide range of material and an ironic discourse, she puts forth themes like childhood traumas, denial and defense mechanisms, and sleep\/death. Taking her relationship with material and process as organic, Bugay\u2019s production process is shaped through the use of materials of fabric, ber, plaster, and terracotta. Cut o from the outside world, isolated, confined to their own space the figures in their privacy do not directly interact with the audience. These figures are tough and distant and at once peaceful and familiar. Bugay lets the audience figure out the hidden elements trapped in these spaces of privacy, breach into their secrecy and complete their un- canny and hidden stories. Although seeming safe and warm, the environments and figures in her works contain the possibility of an attack.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Visual artist born in Istanbul, 1979. Bugay graduated from Department of Painting in 2002, obtained her Phd in 2019 both at Mimar Sinan University of Fine Art. Lives and works in Beyo\u011flu, Istanbul.<\/p>\n
