Fatma Tülin (1950, Istanbul), who enriched the organic forms in her early paintings with the human body image she worked after 1980, uses giant crustaceans, dried plants and fruits in her canvases. Going beyond the classical "dead nature" paintings with these arrangements, the artist works on a line between the abstract and the concrete, usually on large canvases. The artist, who started working at Özer Kabaş's workshop in 1971, studied language and literature at Boğaziçi University. Taking part in more than 50 group exhibitions at home and abroad, Fatma Tülin continues her work in Istanbul and Paris.
