Pinar Yolaçan (born 1981) is a contemporary Turkish artist based in New York City.
One of her most well-known series, Perishables, depicts portraits of elderly women in garments created by Yolaçan from raw meat and animal parts.
[2] While at Cooper Union, Yolaçan was runner-up in the New York Times Magazine "Capture The Times", photography contest for college students.
[3] Yolaçan describes her underlying theme in her work as her "interest in the female body".
[1] She has cited inspiration in forms of the Queen of England [sic]-type imperial icon and the Victorian body, to the Christian religious icons of Maria and the colonial baroque period, to deity figures from pre-neolithic period which was the archetype of beauty surrounding Turkey thousands of years ago.
