BOE 2007 Viognier

Seze Devres, of Turkish descent, was raised in New York City. Since 1995 she has been creating cameraless photographs (photograms) that explore the potentials of light and color through abstraction. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in the United States, Turkey, and France. She has created dozens of album covers and special limited editions for many sound artists. Devres’ photogram process has gained worldwide recognition and was recently highlighted in the photo textbook Exploring Color Photography.

Along with her endeavors in fine art, Devres works as a freelance photographer, web designer, and curator. In June 2007 she curated an exhibition on contemporary psychedelic art called “Love’s Secret Domain” in Brooklyn. She photographs regularly for Flavorpil and PS1/MoMA’s hugely successful Summer Warm Up parties. She also co-hosts and photographs the weekly techno party The Bunker.

Devres has taught Photography and New Media Art at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, International Center of Photography and 3rd Ward in New York City. As a teenager she studied at the Art Students’ League, received a BA from Bard College (double major in Photography and Sculpture), and completed her Masters in Photography & Related Media at the School of Visual Arts, where she was awarded the Aaron Siskind Scholarship/Chairman’s Grant.
