Onur Özen is a Turkish lens-based and mixed-media artist who examines the shifting layers of urban identity. Born in Çanakkale in 1988, Özen developed his practice through formal studies at Çanakkale 18 Mart University, Florence University of the Arts, and Sabancı University. His work merges photography with painting and digital imaging to capture the architectural and cultural evolution of the city. Özen’s perspective gained recognition through the Past Present Istanbul exhibition at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum in 2021. By blending art history with documentary practices, he investigates "lost-modern" sentiments found within changing environments. His interdisciplinary approach provides a nuanced look at how cityscapes hold onto their history while moving forward.
