Özet:

Idiolect is a concept which corresponds to the individual language of the artist in art practices. When viewed from a general perspective, this concept represents the features that define one’s artistic field, worldview and identity and also makes the 'me' different from the others. The idiolect of the person emerges in various ways in the conscious or unconscious expressions of the self to the outside. This research aims to make a psychodynamic analysis of the idiolect of the contemporary artist practicing in a period where art involves many disciplines and to examine the relationship between idiolect and contemporary culture. Idiolect is adressed within the framework of Ego (self-ego), Super-ego and Id (lower-ego), concepts which are used in Sigmund Freud’s structural personality theory. To this end, many examples are discussed from the works of contemporary artists. This study was made by examining the previous researches on the subject. To better understand idiolect in contemporary art, the concept of self in the context of present day culture is examined in various aspects. For this purpose, extensive research has been carried out on self, identity and idiolect in psychology and art disciplines. It is thought that, in an era of technological developments and changing priorities, associating the status of contemporary artists and the idiolect revealed in their artworks with Freud's structural theory of personality would serve these artists to evaluate their own artistic language more consciously and at the same time to produce more original and creative works.
