Yüksel Arslan, who aimed to “paint by taking the paths that have never been taken before”, mostly produced paintings on paper by merging the techniques he encountered in an art book focusing on the prehistoric period with the paint recipes he prepared. Using materials such as raw pigments, herbs, tobacco, tea, urine, oil, blood, marrow, egg whites, honey, petrol, soil, and tile, the artist incorporates encyclopaedic illustrations, animal-human figures reminiscent of representations in anatomy and botany books, as well as structures and narratives that have symbolic historical and social significance. Arslan entitles his works “arture” by combining the word art with the suffix “-ure” as used in the French word
