Ayşe Gül Süter

Ayşe Gül Süter (b. 1982, Istanbul) graduated from the Department of Animation and Digital Arts at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 2010.

Adopting scientific concepts into her work, Ayşe Gül Süter places color and light at the center of her art practice. She was the only artist to receive an official artist-in-residence invitation from the Biomedical Research Institute in Barcelona, where she spent 2018 researching light optics and human cell structures. This research led to a large-scale stained glass installation at Recinte Modernista Sant Pau.

She collaborates with scientists at Massachusetts's Marine Biological Laboratory, investigating marine organisms through microscopy. Her Istanbul studio functions as an art/science laboratory where she experiments with biological materials — bacteria, crystals, plankton — translating observations into glass sculptures and installations.

Her work features hybrid formations that reflect and emit light, resembling organic structures. She employs industrial painting tools for large-scale glass work, leveraging knowledge of color and light theory to create visually and intellectually stimulating experiences.
