Oğulcan Kuş: Make Sense – a new visual language in Düsseldorf
With Make Sense, Anna Laudel presents in Düsseldorf the second solo exhibition of the artist Oğulcan Kuş with the gallery and at the same time his first presentation in Germany. The exhibition opens on November 26, 2026 and leads into a contemporary image world between painting, pop aesthetics, graphic precision, and enigmatic symbols.
Between pop culture, geometry, and inner images
Oğulcan Kuş, born in 1993 in Istanbul, studied Studio Arts and Communication at Marymount Manhattan College in New York. His artistic practice combines bright colors, geometric orders, and cartoonish figures with motifs from popular culture, media, and everyday life. This creates image spaces that seem immediately accessible while also opening up a second, unsettling layer of meaning.
The aesthetics of the familiar
Kuş works with a visual language in which the familiar appears unexpectedly. Graphic surfaces, precise forms, and enigmatic signs encounter an atmosphere between irony, dream, and visual memory. His works move between Op-Art, Pop Art, and an independent contemporary painting that connects personal experiences with cultural image worlds.
Art observation as an aesthetic experience
The exhibition invites concentrated observation of the works. Colors emerge clearly and physically, forms assert themselves with almost constructive strictness, while individual details direct the gaze into imaginary scenarios. Kuş’ art thrives on the interplay between order and surprise, surface and meaning, playful lightness and intellectual depth.
An artist between New York and Istanbul
His education and early exhibition activities in New York shaped Kuş’ engagement with American pop culture, avant-garde, and graphic image production. Since his return, he has been working in Istanbul and developing a versatile practice that includes not only painting but also sculpture, material experiments, and installation elements. A recurring motif is white gloves, which refer to the invisible work behind the presentation and circulation of art.
Conclusion: Contemporary art with surprising perspectives
Make Sense promises a concentrated art experience for all who appreciate contemporary painting, pop aesthetics, and visual ambiguity. The exhibition opens up new perspectives on familiar signs and makes the atmosphere of the exhibition itself part of the aesthetic experience. A visit to Anna Laudel offers the opportunity to discover Oğulcan Kuş’ works live for the first time in Germany.
