Fahrettin Gürkan Örenli’s practice moves between visual art, writing and long-term research projects in which knowledge is not represented but examined as an active field. Through paintings, installations, drawings, texts and archival constellations, he traces how knowledge forms, shifts and reconfigures itself within changing constellations of human and non-human agents and systems.
At the core of his ongoing project Equation: The Evolution of Knowledge Within and Beyond the Human Mind lies the question of how consciousness relates to the structures that simultaneously enable and delimit it—ecological, economic and cosmic domains that cannot be clearly separated from one another.
Rather than formulating explanatory models, Örenli works with open systems in which different modes of knowing intersect, deflect or become temporarily incompatible. His work connects personal memory and lived experience with the logics of urbanisation, capital flows, historical sedimentation and technological transformation. Meaning does not appear as a fixed given, but as something that is continuously reconfigured.
Fahrettin Gürkan Örenli (1969, Turkey) lives and works between Amsterdam, Istanbul, Seoul and Havana. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam (1994–1998), and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam (2000–2001).
He has participated in international residency programmes including MMCA Changdong, Seoul (2017), Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center / SALT, Istanbul (2006–2007), and ISCP, New York (2003). In 2000 he received the Royal Award for Modern Painting, Amsterdam, and in 2004 the ABN AMRO Art Award.
Recent and selected solo exhibitions include NTCAM, Taipei (2026), Art Sümer, Istanbul (2026), ARK Kultur, Istanbul (2025), Bradwolff & Partners, Amsterdam (2026), alongside presentations in museums, biennials and independent art institutions across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Market position
Fahrettin Gürkan Örenli’s practice operates at the intersection of visual art, theoretical inquiry and long-term artistic research. His work is internationally positioned within museum, biennial and research-driven institutional contexts, where he develops a sustained investigation into knowledge production, systems and processes of transformation.
He has participated in leading international residency programmes, including MMCA Changdong in Seoul in 2017, Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center / SALT in Istanbul in 2006–07 and ISCP in New York in 2003, which have contributed to the consolidation of his practice within an international network of contemporary art institutions.
He was awarded the Royal Painting Prize in Amsterdam in 2000 and the ABN AMRO Art Prize in Amsterdam in 2004, distinctions that confirm his early position within the Dutch painting context and mark a gradual shift toward a more research-oriented and interdisciplinary practice.
His solo exhibitions include institutional and project-based presentations at NTCAM in Taipei in 2026, Art Sümer with Abandoned Bended City in 2026, ARK Kultur (parallel to the Istanbul Biennale) in 2025, Expansion 15 of the 15th Havana Biennial at the Wifredo Lam Center in 2025, Art Sonje Center in Seoul in 2017, SMBA Amsterdam in 2015, Alt Space LOOP in 2022, Project Fulfill Art Space in Taipei in 2018 and Pi Artworks in London and Istanbul in 2018.
Group exhibitions and biennial presentations include the Changwon Sculpture Biennale in 2022, Yeosu International Art Festival in 2022, Istanbul Modern in 2014, Museum of Antioquia in Medellín in 2017, Frieze and KIAF in Seoul in 2022 and Art Basel Hong Kong, in 2018 and 2019.
His work is included in public and private collections including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the ABN-AMRO Collection, the Collection de Heus-Zomer, the Erasmus University Collection, the Academic Medical Center (AMC) Art Collection, the ENECO Art Collection, the De NOG Collection, Stichting Beeldspoor associated with Schouwburg Rotterdam, the OCE Technology & Art Foundation Collection and CBK Dordrecht, all in the Netherlands, as well as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA, artist book) in New York, the Hsueh Pao-Shia Collection and Crane Gallery in Taiwan, and the Vehbi Koç Foundation and the Hakan ve Banu Çarmıklı Collection in Turkey.
