Sedef Gali - Artist
“If there's one thing every city shares, it's constant change. Yet as change breeds novelty, novelty breeds seclusion. Do any of us belong—in our cities, our bodies, our minds? Or are we all just outsiders looking in? These are the stuff of private conversations—conversations with a loved one, with a friend, with the self.”
Sedef Gali, artist, designer and creative consultant born in Istanbul, 14 of March 1990. Graduated from Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New York - Brooklyn, leading art and design university in the USA where she studied Interior Design and Painting. Her international academic background is supported with International Baccalaureate Diploma and Art & Design diploma from Central St. Martins in London. She is a multi-faceted artist based in between Istanbul and New York.
Sedef Gali, after growing up in cities with clashing cultures, researches different socio-cultural eras, cultural contrasts and suppressed emotions. Her work is a celebration for the colorful and chaotic grime in metropolitan cities and how it is reflected upon society through the use of colors.
The main technique Gali uses is oil on canvas, but all works includes medium tricks and illusions supported with food dye, nail polish, oil based mediums, alcohol and self made powdered pigments.
Sedef Gali researches different socio-cultural eras, cultural contrasts and emotional layers through social experiences. Gali explains her work as "sugar coated chaos". Main subjects of her work consist of suppressed emotions, lust, sexism, gender issues, self love, and accumulation of emotions masked and frowned upon by our cultural surroundings and society. Gali had multiple exhibitions, live art performances, brand collaborations and pop-up shows between Istanbul and New York including Cemberlitas Basin Museum, Hole Gallery, St Tropez Fine Arts, Contemporary Istanbul and Manhattan Center.
