Özge Çokgezen

BIO

Özge Çokgezen (b. 1992) is a conceptual fine artist living and working between Istanbul and Barcelona. They work across mediums to express and raise questions about conceptions of signification in space. Çokgezen trained in fine arts and art history at Pera Fine Arts High School, Istanbul Technical University, and Beykent University, and studied contemporary art practice in Florence, Italy, and Istanbul.

A painter and sculptor, Çokgezen's obsession with space informs their use of medium. Their abstract works raise questions about perception and limits, throwing into relief debates about post-truths, self-concepts, and spatial conduits to knowing.

Çokgezen was the Artistic Director of Bang. Art Innovation Prix where they ran the digital art and innovation program until 2018. They have published articles in print and online about visual arts and continental philosophy. Çokgezen's work has been commissioned for private collections and corporations in different continents.
