• ORHAN COPLU

Born in the town of Ushak, Turkey and now based in Vancouver, Canada. Coplu’s impressive journey as an artist started as a young child. His mother, a weaver, taught him about figures, the meanings of patterns and the emotional effectiveness of color.

His formative years were periods of optimism for Coplu, although the challenges and changes in the world around him gave him the urge to paint for freedom of expression.
Coplu states “My heart could not remain on my studying while my mind was completely occupied with political issues. I was witnessing a huge turmoil in my environment and documenting it through my art.”

Following his first art exhibition in 1984, Coplu has since become a well-loved and widely collected artist with exhibitions throughout Europe, North America and Japan.
His works have been published in numerous magazines, newspapers, books and catalogues around the world.

• “A Land of Dream and Love” - The concept

Coplu’s work is a mirror, reflects the feelings, beliefs, thoughts, fears and experiences. He uses symbols to express his thoughts and convey his themes. In his paintings cloud symbolizes dreams; heart, symbolizes Love, boat symbolizes adventure and journey. The figures in his paintings are mainly the human beings and relations between themselves and the environment they are part of.

His paintings are full of hope and emotions that the human beings hold within their soul and mind but shed away with the society’s strict rules. He believes that the happiness and beauty of human’s life lie in the journey of dreaming and loving each other.

He combines three creative elements in the simplest but most effective way to define his themes, so that people from any nationality, race or age can understand them. These distinguishing elements on his paintings are vibrant and contrasting colors, humor and universal symbols.
