Sleepers and their Dreams”
ART
Kadir Öztoprak, in his artistic works, reflects poetically the structure shaped by “life” and its traces and the experiences of himself and his surroundings. Besides, it is possible to see the reflections concerning form, color and pattern of the ethnographic and archaeological objects which he studies and touches during his museological tasks in Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
In this context, his late works “Sleepers and their Dreams” consists of two groups. This long lasting group’s adventure begins with the aphorism of Grillparzer “When we sleep, dreams awaken”
In his approach to the “Sleepers” theme, we can see an independent testimony to “sleeping” during which people pass one third of their lives.
In “Dreams” the moments when people face the suppressed feelings and thoughts are depicted. These moments come into being in such a framework determined by the artist that this gives a fabulous feeling to the spectator.
