Füsun Onur (born 1938 in Istanbul) began her art practice in the 1960s, producing works that what beyond the traditional confines of painting and sculpture, giving form to her art through instinct and intuition and creating a language beyond time. In the decades since, she has become a leading figure in
Turkish contemporary art, both through her inclusion of everyday, ephemeral materials in her works and through her
conceptual and
minimalist approach. Her practice, which can be understood through the lens of
feminist art history, draws on her private life and employs traditional and domestic media, such as
weaving and textiles.
