Özgür Deniz Koldaş is a graphic designer and visual artist currently based in Amsterdam. Operating at the intersection of these two disciplines, he explores the compositional parallels between the printed spread and three-dimensional space. His work aims to blur the lines between printed matter, typography, installation, and publishing.
Having a particular interest in fashion and its visual outputs – where images are generated and circulated at an extreme pace – he hopes to find focus within the visual clutter of our times, questioning our positioning to the images we consume. Diverting from embodied spectatorship, Özgür’s work recontextualizes the digital gaze as refuge from the flux; where pixels are upcycled, democratized, and rendered personal.
