Orcun Beslen
Artist from Turkey
Orçun Beslen is an interdisciplinary artist based in Turkey. His practice focuses on site-specific installations and interventions, where process functions as a constitutive element of the work rather than a secondary phase.
He works with fragile and everyday materials such as paper, textiles, and found objects, approaching them as carriers of spatial memory rather than representational surfaces. His works explore notions of trace, visibility, and the relationship between body, space, and time.

Wrap yourself around me
Drawing by Orcun Beslen
9 x 9 cm • Art paper, Fabric, Ink on paper
I found the frame and the fabric in different places.
The wooden frame was discarded when a bank in Taksim closed down, and the fabric was taken from the trash of a textile workshop in Şişli.
I brought them together, and this is how the work came into being.
The figure I drew relates to anxiety; however, in this work the figure is flowering, in a process of healing.
