Tanju Yağan is a painter born in Kayseri in 1968. He first studied psychology at Boğaziçi University (1985-1989), then turned to art and studied under prominent artists such as Özdemir Altan, Güngör Taner, and Adnan Çoker at Mimar Sinan University (1989-1996). Yağan has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Turkey and abroad, aiming in his artistic approach to stay faithful to reality and reflect observed moments in a photographic manner. Especially in his multi-figure compositions, he modernizes and uses the tradition of posing found in classical art.

The artist draws attention to the deceptive ease of capturing reality and allows room for ambiguities in the processes of meaning-making. With this approach, he both offers the viewer a wealth of meaning and encourages them to reflect. The placement of figures and objects in Yağan's paintings often incorporates a poetic narrative and metaphysical connotations.

After continuing his work in Istanbul for many years, Tanju Yağan settled in Antalya in 2017 and established his own studio there. The artist has also taken part in prestigious international events such as the 2022 Venice Biennale, becoming one of Turkey's representatives in contemporary art.
