In these paintings, the sky, land, and sea are one, and illustrated with various synthesis, in this tense environment, in a way that is both abstract and concrete. \nIn terms of time, the paintings reflect \u201cthe past tense,\u201d \u201cthe past perfect tense,\u201d simple present, present, and the future; in other words, they are both stationary and ongoing. The trunks carry the elegance of \u201cEl Greco,\u201d and generally portrayed as \u201csilhouettes\u201d gives them an aura of mystery. \nWhile leaves, flowers, and fruits are \u201cgoers,\u201d roots and trunks are stable; you will feel this power in the trunks illustrated in the paintings. It is as if these trunks form a connection between the land and the sky, and they are experiencing all the seasons in the same time but in different locations. From time to time, you witness the human body being compared to them as a silhouette among them. Temples, mansions, and bridge ruins, belonging to the past, whisper from the depths of the pictures like honourable ghosts. The common pattern of all of the paintings is \u201cfish,\u201d which live in every season and every depth, go in and out of the most secluded places, and sweep through or carelessly speed through the places that are reflected with mysterious illustrations of the dreams and reality throughout time. This fish is a \u201cuniverse explorer,\u201d and in my eyes is SL himself, who has deemed the universe he has created and continues to create as his open-ended abode. The eyes of the fish are not just an \u201coptical device\u201d but are a sparkling extension of the brain that sees the smallest of details and can describe them without error and without missing anything out. I do not believe that these eyes can miss any beauty. In terms of literacy, the fish is like the \u201comniscient voice\u201d that is present everywhere at all times, describes, knows, and sees everything that is both abstract and concrete;\nand its eyes which scans, selects, meticulously sees, and shows the views captured from the image universe are like abiding glance.\n\nSezer AYKAN\nMAC, MVAM( MAC: Master of Arts Criticism, MVAM: Master of Visual Arts Management\u00a0)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a05 October 2006 \/ Izmir\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEZER AYKAN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[619],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2141,"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140\/revisions\/2141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.serdarleblebici.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
