Softly But Firmly
Ahmed Ögüt
Ahmet Ögüt, one of Turkey’s influential young artists, brings the diversity of specific local determinations, which appear to take place in a particular temporal and spatial relationship, to his work. Ögüt’s art, and its patent subjectivism, is anchored in the significant role that the media plays in constructing and manipulating reality. As result, he uses the images of events that appear in the daily digestive methodologies such as newspapers and television, recapturing those images in a totally different frame.
