Yusa Yalcintas

Elements of esotericism, iconography, as well as the interlaced relationship between ritual and recreation are ideas that evoke Yalcintas's first solo exhibition, Causa Sui, that took place in 2016 at Pi Artworks Istanbul. In Yuka, Yalcintas builds upon these concepts, this time focusing upon the aspect of 'daily practices'. The theatrical narrative brought to life by the artist's composition, constituted of elements placed together for a particular purpose, blends with the exhibition space's architectural background, generating an atmosphere of mystical quality.

Pi Artworks Istanbul is pleased to announce Yuşa Yalçıntaş's first solo exhibition since the gallery became the artist’s primary representation in mid-2015.
Yalçıntaş draws on his investigation into the history of humanity and the belief systems, mythology and behaviours of those within early civilizations. Inspired by this, he creates a fictional place that he gives his audience a peek through his drawings, paintings and installations.
