Abstract (EN)

Yüksel Arslan does not consider himself as a painter or an illustrator, but "a thinker-drawer". He uses natural colours which he formulated the recipes and works on the table with paper. Each of those "things" are a way to dispose of an idea, he says and calls them Arture, not "painting". And to make Artures, he has to read books. The conception that we're looking is a very interesting problem in our art history writing, because Arslan thinks that Artures are some kind of production: Production of any other idea, art theory, and even life than what we have now. Many academic researchers and critics make a point about his readings by just identifying the names like Sade, Nietzsche, Marx… but don't make clear their influences on Arture. We aime to fix that approach, and try to write an alternative narrative in our art history for him.
