Who is Feyyaz

Feyyaz Chemen is a Turkish-American abstract artist, pioneering the future of fluid dynamics through his proprietary technique, Transferred-Light Marbling. He re-contextualizes the ancient ritual of Ebru (water marbling), transforming a disciplined tradition into a radical, performance-based contemporary art form.

Based between Izmir and the US, Chemen's practice navigates the compelling tension between heritage and the urge toward transgressive experimentation. His abstract-expressionist compositions serve as visual narratives exploring themes of displacement, memory, and metamorphosis.

The Pioneering Medium

Transferred-Light Marbling transcends the canvas. Through a rigorous process of experimental inquiry, Chemen translates his fluid compositions onto non-conventional surfaces—including human bodies, sculptural objects, and environments. The work captures the ephemeral interplay of light, movement, and pigment in real-time.

By masterfully integrating fluorescent pigments, UV light, projection, and analog-digital systems, Chemen elevates marbling into a visceral, immersive experience. Each creation is a performative act, documented and preserved through high-definition photography and video. Chemen’s work invites audiences to witness the convergence of ancient craft and luminous, technological rebellion.
