Adem
Göksügür was born in Manisa - Akhisar in 1962. During
his high school years, one of his pictures won an award in a picture
competition in Germany. He studied German Language and Literature, and
Theology. He is a teacher and married, with three children. Besides
his oil painting studies, he repairs antique wooden objects. His love
for wood led him to pyrography which is not widespread in Turkey. He
is influenced by Seldjuk and Ottoman arts and applies antique dyes and
varnish, which he uses to repair wooden things, to his pyrography. He
uses the "Edirnekari" technique, a form of antique Anatolian
art, in his pictures. In his studies, he uses shellac which is obtained
by melting aniline dye and pine resin and bone in alcolhol. He stays
away from synthetic lacquers. He works with plywood as well as natural
sections on plane, oak, walnut and chesnut woods.
