With Buket Isgören

With Buket Isgören und Suzanne Josek

Two heads are better than one. That's why Buket Isgören and Suzanne Josek set out on a search together with the audience: they approach Buket Isgören's images and the questions they raise in a playful, dialogical and physical-performative way. In the process, new and unusual perspectives on the artist's work spontaneously open up. For the artist, drawing is a form of self-empowerment: “When I paint so hard, I really have strength.”

Buket Isgören (born 1992) lives in Cologne. She has been working at Kunsthaus KAT18 since 2015. Buket Isgören's cosmos of images follows a profound principle of order. What the artist processes on a temporal level in the exact reproduction of dates and appointments is depicted in her drawings on a spatial level in clear contours. The creative process is characterised by strength, concentration and never-ending continuity. At the centre of this pictorial cosmos is the motif of the flower, to which the artist returns again and again. The Turkish name Buket means bouquet of flowers.

Buket Isgören's works have been exhibited at Kolumba Kunstmuseum, Cologne (2023/24; 2022/23); Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2022); GiG Munich, Munich (2022) and Temporary Gallery, Cologne (2020), among others.
