Hayri Sengun

Hayri Şengün (b. 1992, Ankara, TR) is an artist based in Ankara whose practice centres on sculpture, alongside engraving, ceramics and painting. He completed his undergraduate and master's degrees in Fine Arts at Bilkent University, where his research examined ocularcentrism and emphasised tactility in artistic experience. Grounded in a direct and physical relationship with materials, his work approaches thinking as a process that unfolds through making and touch. His forms emerge from an ongoing dialogue between intention and process, often shaped by controlled accidents. Alongside his studio practice, Şengün teaches foundation design in the Department of Visual Communication Design at TED University. His first solo exhibition in France presented at Alo Galerie in June 2026.
