Untitled — füsun onur
One of the pioneers of contemporary art in Turkey, Füsun Onur’s artistic practice spans more than half a century, from the 1960s to the present. Onur graduated from the Department of Sculpture at Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts in 1957 and continued her art education in the US. Her works focus on form, space, time, and the relations between these concepts. As the diversity of materials multiplied in the artist’s production, her work expanded to include everyday, narrative, and even autobiographical elements. In the 1980s, Onur used ordinary, everyday materials to explore the relationship between painting and frame and between sculpture and painting, developing a highly idiosyncratic language that eradicates the borders between these categories. In the “Untitled” painting from 1983, the canvas gains form and texture by being folded and knotted; it is pulled to the side of the frame like a curtain to reveal a white, empty landscape. In the other piece, titled “July”, Onur opens a triangular window on the surface of the canvas and then covers it with a cage of woven threads. A sewing needle with a red thread appears in the work, as though she started to stitch the cage, yet left the motif unfinished and put the needle to rest. Although the floral motifs drawn in pencil on the canvas appear to be mere sketches, the artist

生誕地 Istanbul, Turkey
Füsun Onur, a pivotal figure in contemporary Turkish art, was born in Istanbul in 1938, a city steeped in history and cultural confluence. Her formative years were spent amidst the vibrant tapestry of post-war Turkey, a period marked by burgeoning modernization and a reevaluation of artistic traditions. After completing her education at Üsküdar American High School for Girls in 1956, Onur embarked on her formal art training at the Istanbul Academy of Applied Fine Arts, where she studied sculpture under the guidance of Ali Hadi Bara. This foundational period instilled in her a rigorous understanding of form and technique, yet even then, hints of an independent spirit began to emerge—a desire to move beyond conventional boundaries. A Fulbright scholarship in 1962 provided a transformative opportunity, allowing Onur to pursue advanced studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art in the United States from 1963 to 1967. This exposure to international art currents broadened her perspective and solidified her commitment to conceptual exploration.
Upon returning to Turkey, Onur deliberately chose a path of artistic independence, establishing her atelier in Kuzguncuk, Istanbul—a neighborhood that would become intrinsically linked to her creative process. While her early works demonstrated proficiency in abstract geometric sculpture, she soon began to dismantle the conventions of solid form, embarking on a journey that blurred the lines between painting and sculpture. This wasn’t merely a stylistic shift; it was a fundamental questioning of what art could be. She increasingly incorporated everyday materials—paper, cardboard, wood, found objects—into her practice, imbuing them with new meaning through careful arrangement and subtle interventions. These weren't haphazard assemblages but rather meticulously considered explorations of space, time, rhythm, and the inherent qualities of the chosen materials.
A defining element in Onur’s artistic development is her deep connection to her family home in Kuzguncuk, where she lived with her sister İlhan Onur until her passing in 2022. The house itself—filled with furniture and mementos spanning generations—became a living archive, a repository of personal history and collective memory. Situated on the Bosporus, the ever-changing waters served as a constant source of inspiration, influencing her exploration of fluidity, fragmentation, and the ephemeral nature of experience. This intimate connection to place is palpable in her work, which often evokes a sense of nostalgia, contemplation, and the subtle beauty of everyday life. The house wasn’t simply a subject matter; it was an active participant in her creative process, providing materials, textures, and narratives that informed her installations.
Onur's artistic practice is characterized by a profound sensitivity to the interplay of space and time. Her installations are not static objects but rather dynamic environments that invite viewers to engage with their surroundings in new ways. She often employs repetition, layering, and fragmentation to create a sense of rhythmic extension—a visual echo that resonates beyond the confines of the artwork itself. Beyond formal concerns, Onur’s work also subtly engages with social and political issues. Her response to the painting boom of the 1980s, for example, resulted in works that expanded into space, challenging conventional notions of artistic representation. Similarly, her installations often reflect on Turkey's geopolitical situation and the complexities of modern life, though always through a lens of playful ambiguity rather than overt didacticism. She describes her work as “rhythmic extensions of forms,” suggesting a process of continuous unfolding and reinterpretation.
Füsun Onur’s contributions to contemporary Turkish art have been increasingly recognized in recent decades. While she has consistently exhibited both nationally and internationally, it was the comprehensive retrospective at Arter in Istanbul in 2014 that brought her work to a wider audience. More recently, a major exhibition at Museum Ludwig in Cologne (2023-2024) further cemented her position as a leading figure in conceptual art. Her works are now held in prominent museum collections worldwide, including Arter (Istanbul), Tate Modern (London), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), and Centre National des Arts Plastiques (Paris). Onur’s legacy lies not only in her innovative use of materials and techniques but also in her ability to create evocative environments that challenge viewers to question their perceptions and engage with the world around them. She is considered a pioneer in expanding the discipline of installation art, enriching it with new debates about form, space, memory, and the power of everyday objects.
