Highs and lows are a normal part of life but a simple meditation can accentuate them. One day you may think that you are onto something really important, great and even world shattering. The next day, you may think all those you have are worthless and no one would recognize your achievements. At this time, a rest of mind and heart allows good memories to shore you up. However, where are these good memories come from? Coplu, our artist, suggested happiness in the future depends on what you filled in your life. In low times, good memories of joy, love, dreams and care help you to accomplish nearly impossible goals with faith and confidence. Coplu's vibrant colors, rich texture and his humanistic approach make his paintings unique and energetic. His acute visual perception and extraordinary painting ability enables him to deeply express his feelings for people and their dreams, fears, experiences and beliefs. For him, nature and human life are intimately connected. His works not only reflect the values people hold, but also reveal the values that shared between humans and nature. Coplu invites viewers to enter a profound personal world through his imaginative paintings. Here, you can find love, dreams and freedom, all the qualities of life we hoped for and shared with each other. Born in the Turkish town of Ushak, Coplu is now based in Vancouver, Canada. His journey as an artist began during childhood. His mother, a weaver, taught him about figures, the meanings of patterns and also the profound, emotional effectiveness of colour. His formative years were periods of optimism, although the challenges and changes in his world gave him the urge to paint, simply for freedom of expression. His first painting tool was a carved stick that he used while he was studying to become a mining engineer. His passion for art soon took over and he forwent his study of rocks and soil. Following his first art exhibition in 1984, Coplu become a well-loved and widely collected artist, exhibiting throughout Europe, North America and Japan. His works have been published in numerous magazines, newspapers and books across the world. In the beginning of year 2008, State- Of- The- Arts Gallery proudly presents the artworks by Coplu by organizing his debut exhibition in Hong Kong, bringing our best wishes with love, dreams and freedom to people in the city. 愛．夢想．生活 – Coplu 藝術作品展 當我們停下忙碌的步伐靜思，不難發現生活的高潮與低潮總是反復出現。有一天，您昂首闊步為自己的夢想奮鬥，感到前程似錦，輝煌燦爛。另一天，卻垂頭喪氣，認為自己不過是凡夫俗子，沒人會認同您的成就。這時，一些美好的回憶總會浮現在腦海中。但是，這些美好的回憶來自何處?藝術家Coplu認為，未來的幸福和力量往往取決於您如何對待當下的生活。當生活的低潮出現時，充滿幸福、愛、理想和關心的回憶就會為您提供源源不盡的精神能量，幫助您實現幾乎不可能的目標。 充滿活力的顏色、豐富的紋理和富有人文主義的繪畫內容使Coplu的作品洋溢著獨特的感覺。敏銳的視覺和非凡的繪畫能力使Coplu以藝術深深地表達出人的夢想、恐懼、經驗和信仰。對他而言，大自然和人生是緊密相連的。他的作品不僅反映人的價值觀，更顯露出人與自然之間互享的價值。Coplu讓觀賞者通過他富有想像力的繪畫作品，進入一個深刻的個人世界。在那裡，有愛、夢想和自由，讓大家一同分享生活原有的品質和喜悅。 Coplu出生於土耳其的烏沙克市，現居加拿大的溫哥華。Coplu從小就顯露了對藝術的濃厚興趣，加上在作為紡織師的母親感染，很快更對圖形、圖案的意思和顏色的使用有了更深刻的理解。縱使世界的挑戰和變化一直迫使他以藝術爭取言論自由，藝術家的早期創作仍然極具樂觀主義色彩。他的第一個繪畫工具是一根當他學習成為採礦工程師時所使用過的一支經過雕刻的棍子。不過，他的藝術激情令他放棄了對岩石和土壤的研究，轉行成為藝術工作者。Coplu從一九八四年的首次畫展以後，一直廣受注目，作品不但被收藏，展覽更遍及歐洲、北美洲和日本。他的作品亦曾以雜誌、報紙和書本的形式在世界各地出版，一直被受好評。State- Of- The- Arts Gallery誠意策劃Coplu作品展，希望在一年之始為香港人送上充滿愛、夢想和自由的祝福。
