Belgin Bozsahin is a Turkish artist who has lived in London for over thirty years. Trained in fine art painting, she explored various materials, including paper, fabric, and mosaics, before discovering ceramics.
Her work captures movement, flow, and energy through figurative and abstract wall pieces and sculptures. Working with porcelain, she explores the interplay of shapes, textures, and space, emphasising contrasts between smooth and rough, inside and outside, visible and hidden. These qualities reflect coexistence and the dualities inherent in human nature and the natural world.
Porcelain has been her primary medium for the past sixteen years, a material she discovered during her degree studies in London and Norway. Its fragility and resilience perfectly embody the contrasts she seeks to express.
Recently, Belgin has expanded into sculptural vessels, incorporating innovative layering, manipulation, and carving techniques. Through the continual development of new work, she reinterprets the core ideas that drive her practice.
