“Dedication” by Coplu

Coplu was born in the Turkish town of Ushak but later immigrated to Vancouver.

Coplu’s work capture the pressures and uncertainties that we all face; the feelings, beliefs and fears which we all share. Humour and Colour are key

elements which he combines in a simple instinctive way to strike a chord with anyone

‘Dedication’ is from a series which documents the lengths to which a man would go to demonstrate love. We can all relate to the human emotion

relayed by both the man and the woman

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 across the world
