Uluc was born in Istanbul in 1931. He studied high school at the Robert College and made his undergraduate degree in engineering at the Istanbul University between 1949 and 1953. Meanwhile, he started to work on painting at the Nuri Iyem workshop. He studied engineering and later painting in Texas, Boston and New York during 1950s, and held his first personal exhibition in Boston in 1955.
He lived in London and Paris between 1965-1966 and moved to the United States, Mexico and Nigeria. He installed himself to Paris in 1983. Many exhibitions in various cities, particularly in Paris, Berlin and Istanbul, participation in a number of biennials and numerous awards are among his artistic achievements.
Inspired by the traditional Turkish calligraphy, Uluc created a unique contemporary style by means of abstracting figures and forms. His work offers up a defiant sense of fantasy as it navigates the space between abstraction and representation and often relies on rope imagery, calling to mind a wealth of conceptual associations. He used diverse materials not bounding his work with canvas painting.
79-year-old Uluc, who was also the spouse of Turkish writer and columnist Vivet Kanetti, had been treated against lung cancer for the last two years.
