Born in Manisa in 1992, Umut Toros graduated from Dokuz Eylül University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting in 2017. Concentrating on the concepts of “Trace” and “Memory” in his works, the artist aims to create new connections that can remind the viewer of something by focusing on the reminders he usually encounters in nature. The coincidences that arise as a result of this flow turn into a reminder for the viewer and remind him of a memory or a memory hidden in his memory. The artist’s latest series, “Fermata”, made with the watercolor technique on paper, consists of abstracted versions of the images that caught Toros’s attention in nature during his travels. The artist, who believes that performing the action is more important than the distance traveled, questions this dilemma during his journey. Toros, who has taken part in many group exhibitions and various projects to date, continues his life and work in Izmir.
