Her multidisciplinary practice encompasses painting, installation art, video, and experimental art forms, with a particular focus on the interplay between traditional techniques and contemporary themes.

As both a practicing artist and influential educator at institutions including Robert College, Koç University, and Istanbul Modern, Maden has played a significant role in shaping contemporary Turkish art education and practice. She is the daughter of renowned Turkish graphic designer Sait Maden and sister of musician Sarp Maden.

Early life and education

[edit]

Can Maden was born on 28 December 1961, in Istanbul, Turkey. She is the daughter of Sait Maden (3 May 1931, Çorum – 19 June 2013, Istanbul), one of Turkey's most influential graphic designers and typographers who helped establish modern graphic design standards in Turkey.[1] She grew up in an artistic family alongside her brother Sarp Maden (born 19 November 1968), who would later become a well-known guitarist and composer in the Turkish jazz and experimental music scene.[2]

Growing up in a household deeply immersed in visual arts and design significantly shaped Maden's early artistic sensibilities. Her father's pioneering work in typography and graphic design exposed her to the principles of visual communication from an early age, while the creative atmosphere at home encouraged artistic exploration across multiple disciplines.[3]

Maden attended Kadıköy Anadolu High School from 1972 to 1980, where she first began to develop her artistic talents formally.[4] During her high school years, she participated in several student exhibitions and began experimenting with different artistic media.[5]

She received her undergraduate degree from the Mimar Sinan University of Istanbul, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting in December 1984. Under the guidance of professors such as Adnan Çoker and Neşe Erdok, she developed a strong foundation in traditional painting techniques while beginning to explore more contemporary approaches.[6] She continued her education at the same institution, earning a Master of Fine Arts degree from the graduate program between 1985 and 1987.[4]

In October 1992, Maden enrolled in the Museum Studies Graduate Program at Yıldız Technical University, completing her thesis titled "The contribution of Contemporary Art Biennials to the international art environment in the context of the Venice Biennial" in April 1996. Her academic advisors were Prof. Özdemir Altan and Prof. Tomur Atagök.[4] This interdisciplinary education would later prove influential in her approach to both artistic practice and arts administration.[7]

She further developed her artistic practice through various professional development workshops:

  • Art Therapy workshops (2002–2004), where she explored the intersections of art and psychological healing[8]
  • Beykoz Glass Furnace studies (June 2003), experimenting with glass as an artistic medium[9]
  • "Sculpture with Nature's Materials" and "Computer Animation" workshops at Savannah College of Art and Design (July 2000), which expanded her practice into digital and environmental art forms[4][10]

Personal life

[edit]

Maden comes from a family with deep artistic roots. Her father, Sait Maden (1931-2013), was a pioneering figure in Turkish graphic design, typography, and visual communication. Born in Çorum, he became one of the founders of modern Turkish graphic design, creating numerous iconic logos, book covers, and typographic solutions that helped define Turkey's visual identity in the second half of the 20th century.[11] His work bridged traditional Ottoman calligraphy with modern design principles, creating a distinctive Turkish design aesthetic.

Her brother, Sarp Maden (born 1968), has established himself as an innovative guitarist and composer in Turkey's jazz and experimental music scene. His work often explores the intersection of traditional Turkish music with contemporary jazz improvisations.[12]

Growing up in this creative household significantly influenced Can Maden's interdisciplinary approach to art and education, encouraging experimentation across different media and forms of artistic expression. In numerous interviews, Maden has credited her father's meticulous approach to visual form and her brother's experimental music as dual influences on her own artistic practice.[13]

Maden has been married to architect Kemal Erhan since 1988. Their collaborative work on several installation projects has explored the intersection of art and architectural space.[14] They have two children, both of whom have pursued careers in creative fields – their daughter Defne Erhan (b. 1990) works in documentary filmmaking, while their son Deniz Erhan (b. 1993) is a sound designer and electronic musician.[15]

Career

[edit]

Artistic work

[edit]

My work explores boundaries between dreams and reality, between form and dissolution. I'm interested in how traditional practices can speak to contemporary concerns, and how materiality itself can become a vehicle for emotional and philosophical inquiry.

Can Maden, interview for Istanbul Modern catalog, 2022[16]

Maden's artistic career spans several decades, beginning with her earliest recorded exhibition in 1990 at Töbank Contemporary Art Gallery, where she presented an installation and happening with İlhan Şen and Hüseyin Özinal.[4] This early work demonstrated her interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches that would become a hallmark of her practice.[17]

Her work explores the intersection of traditional painting techniques with contemporary themes and experimental approaches. Critics have noted three distinct phases in her artistic development: an early period (1990-2000) characterized by installation and video work exploring social themes; a middle period (2000-2015) focused on abstract painting and mixed media explorations; and a recent period (2015-present) marked by a synthesis of these approaches with an increased emphasis on materiality and environmental concerns.[18]

Her exhibitions often feature explorations of the human form, abstract landscapes, and reflective surfaces, as evidenced by exhibition titles such as "Akıştaki Formlar: Bedenin Anatomisi" (Flowing Forms: Anatomy of the Body) and "Yansımalar ve Kırılmalar" (Reflections and Fractures).[4] Art critic Nilüfer Erdem has described Maden's work as "occupying an intriguing space between the figurative and abstract, where natural forms undergo a process of dissolution and reconstitution that parallels our own fragmented experience of contemporary reality."[19]

Her recent series of mixed media works from 2023, including "Minyatür Manzara" (Miniature Landscape) and "Sis" (Mist), demonstrate her innovative approach to materials, combining watercolor, ink, drawing pen, coffee, plant extracts, and collage elements to create atmospheric landscapes that blur the boundaries between abstraction and representation.[20] These works have been praised for their delicate balance between technical precision and organic spontaneity, with art historian Deniz Artun noting that "Maden's recent landscapes suggest rather than depict, creating emotional topographies that exist between memory and imagination."[21]

Her solo exhibition "Düşçü/Dreamer" (2022) represents a significant artistic milestone in her career, showcasing her mature style and thematic concerns with dreamlike imagery and narrative expression.[4] The exhibition, which received critical acclaim in the Turkish press, featured large-scale mixed media works that combined elements of traditional Turkish miniature painting with contemporary abstraction and collage techniques.[22] Art critic Ahu Antmen described the exhibition as "a breakthrough moment in Maden's career, bringing together her technical virtuosity and conceptual depth in a body of work that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary."[23]

Artistic themes and techniques

[edit]

Maden's work is characterized by several recurring themes and technical approaches:

  • **Materiality and process**: Maden often incorporates unconventional materials including coffee, plant extracts, and found objects alongside traditional media. Her process frequently involves layering, erosion, and transformation of surfaces.[24]
  • **Liminal spaces**: Critics have noted Maden's persistent interest in threshold states and transitions, whether between dream and reality, abstraction and figuration, or natural and constructed environments.[25]
  • **Environmental concerns**: Particularly in her recent work, Maden has engaged with ecological themes, using organic materials and landscape imagery to explore human relationships with the natural world.[26]
  • **Cultural hybridity**: Drawing on both her training in Western art traditions and elements of Turkish visual culture, Maden's work often creates dialogues between different artistic languages and cultural references.[27]

Critical reception

[edit]

Maden's work has received significant critical attention within Turkey and increasingly on the international stage. Art historian Vasıf Kortun has positioned her practice within what he terms "the reflective turn" in Turkish contemporary art, noting that her work "navigates between personal memory and collective history, creating visual palimpsests that resist simple interpretation."[28]

International reception has focused particularly on her innovative use of materials and environmental themes. In a review of her 2015 Düsseldorf exhibition, German critic Petra Schulze noted that "Maden's work presents a refreshing counterpoint to dominant trends in contemporary art, offering a contemplative, materially-rich engagement with landscape that feels both timely and timeless."[29]

Within Turkey, Maden's dual role as artist and educator has been emphasized, with critic Ayşegül Sönmez describing her as "a bridge figure who has helped shape a new generation of Turkish artists while continuing to evolve her own distinctive visual language."[30]

Family artistic influence

[edit]

The influence of her father, Sait Maden, is evident in Can Maden's early career trajectory. From 1984 to 1990, she worked as an assistant designer in her father's graphic studio.[4] This experience provided her with a foundation in design principles and visual communication that would later inform her artistic practice and teaching methodology. Sait Maden was known for his pioneering work in Turkish typography and book design, creating numerous iconic book covers and logos for major Turkish institutions.[31]

In a 2019 interview, Can Maden reflected on her father's influence: "My father taught me the importance of precision and integrity in visual communication. Though my work moved in different directions, his concern with the relationship between form and content remains fundamental to my approach."[32]

Her brother, Sarp Maden, has pursued a parallel artistic career in music, becoming one of Turkey's most innovative guitarists and composers. The siblings have occasionally collaborated on interdisciplinary projects that combine visual art and experimental music, creating performances that bridge visual and auditory experiences.[33] Their most notable collaboration, "Soundscapes and Visualscapes" (2018), featured Sarp's live improvisations responding to Can's projected artwork, creating what critic Orhan Tekelioğlu described as "a remarkable dialogue between disciplines that honors their shared artistic heritage while pushing into new territory."[34]

Teaching and academic roles

[edit]

Maden has established a distinguished career in art education, holding positions at several prestigious institutions:

  • Head of Art Department at Ted Rönesas College (2017–2018), teaching Btec Art and Design and Studio Art in English[4]
  • Head of Art Department at Terakki Vakfı Özel Şişli Terakki Schools (2013–2017), teaching Studio Art and Art History in English[4]
  • Lecturer at Koç University Social Sciences Faculty, Department of Media and Arts (2010–2013), teaching Basic Drawing, Contemporary Art, and Selected Topics in Art[4]

  • Contemporary Art instructor at Mine Contemporary Art Gallery (March–June 2008)[4]
  • Head of Education and Social Projects at Istanbul Modern Art Museum (May–December 2007), designing art activities for children with biennial artists[4]

  • Art History and Contemporary Art instructor for adults at Pavo Modern Art Gallery (1995–1997)[4]
  • Art instructor for children at the Association of the Museum of Painting and Sculpture (June 1995–July 1996)[4]
  • Art History and Applied Art instructor at Üsküdar American College (1994–1995)[4]

Her teaching philosophy emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, encouraging students to develop technical skills while engaging with contemporary artistic discourse. Former student and now-established artist Elif Uras credits Maden with "opening my eyes to the possibilities of art as both a personal and social practice."[35]

During her tenure at Istanbul Modern, Maden developed influential educational programs that brought contemporary artists into dialogue with diverse audiences, particularly children and young people. Her "Art for Everyone" initiative, launched in 2007, created accessible workshops and curriculum materials that have since been adopted by numerous other Turkish cultural institutions.[36]

Early professional experience

[edit]

Before focusing on art education and her artistic career, Maden worked as:

  • Assistant art designer for television serials (1987–1990), contributing to the visual styling of several popular Turkish TV productions[4]
  • Assistant designer in the graphic studio of her father, Sait Maden (1984–1990), where she gained valuable experience in commercial design and typography[4]

This early professional experience in applied visual arts provided Maden with practical skills and industry connections that would later influence her interdisciplinary approach to fine art and education. Her work in television production, in particular, informed her later video art and installations, which often employ narrative elements and cinematic techniques.[37]

Legacy and influence

[edit]

As both an artist and educator, Can Maden has contributed significantly to contemporary Turkish art through her exhibitions and by mentoring new generations of artists. Her experience across multiple artistic disciplines and her academic background in museum studies have positioned her as an important figure in Turkey's contemporary art scene.

Her approach to art education has influenced curriculum development across multiple institutions in Turkey. Tomur Atagök, former director of Mimar Sinan University Museum, notes that "Maden's integrated approach to theory and practice has reshaped how we teach art in Turkey, emphasizing critical thinking alongside technical mastery."[78]

Her former students include several notable contemporary Turkish artists, including Canan Tolon, Selma Gürbüz, and İnci Eviner, who acknowledge her formative influence on their artistic development.[79]

Her work in public institutions such as the Istanbul Modern Art Museum has fostered community engagement with the arts, and her international collaborations have helped to bridge Turkish art with global contemporary movements. The educational programs she developed during her tenure at Istanbul Modern have become models for museum education throughout Turkey and have been cited in international museum studies literature as exemplary approaches to audience engagement.[80]

The artistic legacy of the Maden family spans multiple disciplines, with Sait Maden's contributions to graphic design, Can Maden's work in fine arts and education, and Sarp Maden's innovations in music, collectively representing a significant contribution to Turkey's cultural landscape in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[81]

Maden's dual role as artist and educator has created a lasting impact on Istanbul's contemporary art scene. Through her leadership positions at prestigious educational institutions and her contributions to museums like Istanbul Modern, she has helped shape the way art is taught, exhibited, and experienced in Turkey. Her interdisciplinary approach, combining traditional techniques with contemporary themes, reflects her ability to navigate between different artistic worlds and traditions.[82]

Her recent mixed media works demonstrate a continued exploration of materials and techniques, incorporating organic elements like coffee and plant extracts alongside traditional media to create atmospheric compositions that reflect both natural landscapes and internal emotional states.[83] Art historian Nilüfer Söylemezoğlu has positioned these works within an emerging "eco-aesthetic" in Turkish contemporary art that engages with environmental concerns through material practice.[84]

In a 2023 retrospective assessment of her career, critic Beral Madra wrote: "Can Maden's significance lies not only in her artistic innovations but in her ability to forge connections—between traditional and contemporary approaches, between educational institutions and artistic communities, and between Turkish art and international contexts. Her legacy will be measured not only in her own artwork but in the generations of artists she has influenced and the institutional frameworks she has helped to strengthen."[85]
