Who is Mazlum Cabir Uluyol? (1968-Varto)
Born in 1968 in the Varto district of Muş, the artist began his art education in the Department of Painting at İnönü University’s Faculty of Education in Malatya and graduated with a major in Painting in 1995. He began working as an art teacher. Currently working as Head of the Painting Department at Mersin Nevit Kodallı Fine Arts High School, the artist has held six solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. In addition to winning awards in local and national art competitions, he has also served as a jury member in numerous art competitions. Uluyol has personally conducted research trips to museums in Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands. A member of the United Painters and Sculptors Association and SAKÜDER, the artist continues his artistic work in his own personal studio in Mersin.
Art Perspective;
The artist, who constructs her works through geometric forms, also adopts an approach that abstracts these same forms. Her productions center on the issues of the other, identity, and women as themes; despite her abstractionist approach, she has also incorporated hints of concrete reality into some of her works. Weaving data reduced to symbolic language with lyrical narratives, the artist has combined the “Simurgu,” also known as the Phoenix, with the theme of migration. She visualized her desired phenomenon by transforming it into a crane, stylized with schematic, broad contours. In her recent works, she has occasionally attempted to analyze her subjects based on abstract and concrete reality; these new pursuits have evolved into research on form and texture with a colorist orientation. Focusing particularly on the term “loneliness,” the artist has reduced human figures and the sense of belonging established through the crane form to a symbolic language. Using masking, printing, oil painting, acrylic, artistic and transfer printing techniques, the artist continues her exploration of socio-cultural issues that have caught her attention.
