Kader Genç approaches darkness and gloom with an aesthetic consciousness. In his recent paintings, he looks into himself and rather than covering up his fears and nightmares uses them as materials. By expressing his subjective darkness with his art, he confronts the viewer with themselves and the wounds of reality. The artist, who portrays the degenerate modern society and the domination of the collapsed system over humanity with a critical approach, often uses animals, plants, and objects in symbolic references. The elements he uses in his compositions become subjective according to their distributed roles, adopting a bold, uncensored, and far-from-beautifying style. Just like life itself, he uses a color palette in which light and darkness are intertwined.

Kader Genç was born in Bursa in 1987. He graduated in 2010 from Studio No. 3 of the Painting Department at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. In 2011, he held his first solo exhibition titled First Paintings. Since then, he has presented eight solo exhibitions at Karşı Sanat Çalışmaları, Akademililer Art Center, and EVİN. His works have been included in significant private and institutional collections. The artist, who began working with EVİN in 2022, continues his practice in his studio in Istanbul.
