In our 547th Art Gathering, we are visiting the studio of ceramic artist Aslı Aydemir.

Born in Istanbul in 1973, Aydemir began her education at Saint Michel French High School, continued her academic journey at Istanbul University's French Philology department, and then, due to her strong artistic inclination, crowned her studies at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University's Ceramics and Glass Design Department. After graduating as the top student in her class, she strengthened her academic background by pursuing postgraduate studies in Industrial Design at Marmara University's Institute of Fine Arts. Between 2005 and 2017, she also reinforced her academic identity by teaching ceramics at Boğaziçi University. Since 2007, she has continued her artistic production in her own studio in Istanbul.

The artist treats ceramics not only as a material but also as a narrative language. Inspired by the unpredictable nature of ceramics, Aydemir blends this randomness with the dynamics of the society she lives in, presenting it to the viewer. The themes that stand out in her works, which bear the traces of her geography, include the issue of women, peace interests, and religious elements. While using ceramics as her main material, the artist adopts a technique based on unit multiplication through molding and prefers installation as her form of expression.

Aslı Aydemir has participated in many important group exhibitions, fairs, and symposiums in Turkey; and has represented Turkey in international exhibitions and workshops held in countries such as Spain, Germany, and Switzerland. Since 2016, she has made a name for herself with solo exhibitions such as “Restoration of Reputation,” “Social Media Effect,” “Chinatown,” and “la vie m’suffit,” and in 2025, she met with art lovers with her solo exhibition titled “euphoria’s abyss” and her curatorial project titled “sacred intersection.”
