Kültigin Kağan Akbulut (°1987, Ordu, Turkey) is an artist who mainly works with mixed media. With Plato’s allegory of the cave in mind, Akbulut tries to grasp language. Transformed into art, language becomes an ornament. At that moment, lots of ambiguities and indistinctnesses, which are inherent to the phenomenon, come to the surface.
His mixed media artworks focus on the inability of communication which is used to visualise reality, the attempt of dialogue, the dissonance between form and content and the dysfunctions of language. In short, the lack of clear references are key elements in the work. By focusing on techniques and materials, he considers making art a craft which is executed using clear formal rules and which should always refer to social reality.
His works are an investigation into representations of (seemingly) concrete ages and situations as well as depictions and ideas that can only be realized in mixed media art. By investigating language on a meta-level, he makes work that deals with the documentation of events and the question of how they can be presented. The work tries to express this with the help of physics and technology, but not by telling a story or creating a metaphor.
His works are notable for their perfect finish and tactile nature. This is of great importance and bears witness to great craftsmanship. Kültigin Kağan Akbulut currently lives and works in İstanbul.
