Sezer Arıcı

Sezer Arıcı (Tekirdağ, 1988) completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Painting at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in 2006. The artist’s compositions are based on social determinism. The notion of ideal lifestyle constructed whether in or out of USA is his main subject and he analyzes the idea as a foreigner. In his series, the artist’s use of color emphasizes the artificiality of the imposed ideal. The artist currently continues his works both in Madrid and Istanbul.
