About the artist

As an Istanbul-born artist, Didem Yagci was deeply inspired by the late Victor Vasarely, who created abstract works based on optical illusion and geometry, as well as Frank Stella, whose textured works express his masterful use of color. Didem Yagci’s wooden sculptures form kinetical patterns that express notions of creation, infinity, and eternity. Working with wood, her method presents layered delicate pieces she sands by hand placed together to create three-dimensional canvases with richly textured, impasto-like surfaces. After graduating from the Department of Chemistry at Bosphorus University, she received a European Union Scholarship (2010) and studied "Contemporary Art and Design" at the London College of Fashion. By combining her artistic talent with science and analytical perspective and adding her experience and vision she gained from business life; she produces 3D abstract forms that combine materials, colors, textures, and design different techniques in the field of art. Yagci has participated in many group exhibitions, projects, and fairs internationally in Miami, Chicago, Connecticut, Houston, Dallas, New York, Dubai, London, Paris, Dublin, holding many solo exhibitions in Turkiye, Istanbul. Her works are in many national and international private collections. In addition, during her education in England, her works were exhibited on the billboards of Regent Park Underground Station simultaneously with the Frieze London Fair.
