Biography

Canan Şahin was born in 1970 in Turkey.[6] She grew up in a rural part of Turkey.[7] She studied at Marmara University, where she received a BA degree (1992) in business,[8] and later studied painting at the same university.

She was married to a man with the name Şenol, however they divorced in 2010 and as an act of rebellion she continued to use his last name professionally which goes against local laws (sometimes uses her mononym).[9]

Senol's artwork has been shown widely including, "Global Feminisms" (2007) group exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, New York.[10] [11] [12]

Her work is held in public museum collections, including the Centre Pompidou, the Pinakothek der Moderne, the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, and Istanbul Modern.[13] [14]
