Belgian celebrated artist Sinan Logie finalized his studies in 1998, from Brussels Free University, Victor Horta Faculty of Architecture. After having experimented different scales such as design, architecture, urban planning and writing in Belgium, he moved to Istanbul in 2011, to pursue his artistic and academic research. Since then his life and production are shifting between Istanbul and Brussels.
Logie's paintings, sculptures, installations, and wall objects reflect his architectural background. He has developed a unique manufacturing method which consists of adding thick layers of oil, acryl, gypsum, sand, paraffin and inks to canvases and wooden surfaces which are at times flat, at others protruding from the wall. The added materials sometimes become unchecked (which gives rise to thick and very materialistic paintings), while at others it is contained.
The constructive structure is strict. The layers are applied in a constant precipitation, which is composed as a choreography. Its colors, its depth and its compositions are ever-variable parameters, akin to the degree of hybridization. Logie describes the result of this process as "struggle suspended." In this way, the discourse that he develops about his serial work is not analytical but tell us about the story and method of their creation and explains the painterly effects he uses (metallic/ matt/shinny/glossy, the interplay with three-dimensional and sculptural scales) and his never-ending romance with materials.
