Tuğçe Karapinar is a mixed media artist, based in London, UK. Karapinar’s artistic practice focuses on exploring Nature's Choreography through varied media and processes. ‘Opaque & Transparent’ is a series of work which explores the choreography of the natural elements. Inspired by the fluidity of movement and subtle textural qualities, Karapinar explores this concept through photography, digital drawing, drawing and screen printing. The series of work aims to echo the delicacy of these natural environments.
Karapinar actively exhibits her artwork and more recently was shortlisted for the Directors Cut- Woolwich Print Prize 2023, Royal Academy Summer Show 2022/2016, and has displayed her work at Regents Park Station, and at the Camberwell Arts Festivals.
