“As a young artist, Emre Yüksel focuses on examining and researching the concepts of transhuman and posthuman, which are defined as the almost new reality of the 21st century, and tends to keep the new human formats he creates in his visual memory alive in the living spaces he defines on his canvases. He designs it within his own living spaces, with a figurative expression that determines that the human body is stronger, faster, smarter, in short, much superior to the normal human species, such as organ transplants, by replacing the human body with supposedly more perfect biological parts, prosthetics and unidentified forms of artificial ones. It depicts transhuman and posthuman typologies wandering around the spaces surrounded by gaps in the years when the Egyptian pyramids, which were scientifically accepted as pioneers among civilizations seeking the source of a "Better Life" in history, were built."
