Artist and academic Kemal Tizgöl (1973, Balıkesir) participated in various symposiums, biennials, workshops and group exhibitions in Europe, the USA and the Far East. He held four solo exhibitions and received three awards up to the present; some of his works were included in many private and corporate art collections in Turkey and abroad. His works have also been featured in numerous publications, including “500 Ceramic Sculptures” published by Lark Book, USA. The artist developed a formal and reductionist attitude in his early works; he then focused on real copy, material transformation, reproduction and meaning transition by combining clay and other material in his work. His latest works explore his inner state and personal history. Tizgöl is an associate professor at Akdeniz University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics. He lives and works in Antalya.
