Coşkun Sami

b. 1973, Bulgaria, currently working in Istanbul, Turkey. Sami‘s paintings often incorporate architectural and historical references, while maintaining an affinity for the templates of formalist painting. His limited colour palette supports his drawing-based process, making visible an effort towards achieving pictorial and formal values. Sami‘s paintings demonstrate a nuanced blend of stylistic elements, as he navigates the space between expression, figuration and semi-abstraction. He often incorporates architectural and historical references into his work, such as abandoned buildings from the recent past, stripped of their context and historical specificity, resulting in anonymous and depoliticized homogeneous spaces. His use of muted, earthy tones creates a sense of timelessness and universality, while his brushwork and mark-making imbue the works with a sense of immediacy and urgency. Sami‘s paintings often feature a horizontally-based perception of time, with objects, rocks, organic matter, and voids occupying the same space, with interplays between light and shadow.

His practice explores the power of memory and its potential to resurge or transfigure itself into new conglomerations and physical entities, and is fuelled by an interest in the collective traumas caused by war, displacement and totalitarian regimes, abiding by a certain strain of thought within European post-war painting. Through his attempts to engage with fading or vanquished historical memory, Sami investigates the contradictions that the modernist project in all its aspects has brought, exploring collective memory as a form of storytelling by employing references and motifs of modernity, progress, regress, and the grand narratives of the past and approaching memory as a phenomenon that is intangible and abstract. In some of his paintings, he illustrates how the political is reduced to its grotesque dimension, with power struggles, flag-waving, and the reselling of imaginary dreams. His work engages in a hauntology research of its own, exploring how the agendas of contemporary societies are shaped by ghosts of the past.
