KEREM ARDAHAN
2DKerem Ardahan (Ankara, 1983) completed his undergraduate education at Gazi University, Department of Visual Arts Education in 2005, and his master's degree at the Institute of Educational Sciences of the same university in 2008.
The artist has worked as an art director in various movies and commercials to date, and has also created various product designs at Punta Design, which he founded until 2013. Ardahan, who has held three personal exhibitions, currently continues his art works in his workshop in Kadıköy.
As adults, while we prioritize meeting society's expectations in our daily lives, we also need free spaces to feel like we are individuals. He looks for the recipe for freedom in the options offered to us by the structure we have been conditioned to; We turn a deaf ear to the voices coming from within us. The artist, who often feels stuck in this dilemma, tries to reflect the moods created by the situation in his works, sometimes by pointing out this situation and sometimes by dancing in the free space he has carried from his childhood to the present.
