THE EBRU ART OF FERIDUN OZGOREN
Ozgoren works in the medium of ebru, a technique developed in the
urban cultural centers of Muslim India, Iran, and Turkey by the 15th
century. He practices as a contemporary artist, whose work has aesthetic,
conceptual, historical and ideological aspects strongly grounded in
classical Islamic art traditions. An art process between painting and
monoprinting, ebru is the technique, which was called "paper marbling"
when it was eventually taken to Europe.
When Ozgoren began his practice in the 1980s, ebru had gone out of
use in Native Turkey except for a very few practitioners. Since that
time, Ozgoren has contributed an impressive body of work in the medium,
with artworks combining the rich visual patterns of ebru with the rigor
and elegance of classical Turkish calligraphy. He has also mastered and
incorporated a second nearly-lost technique, katu, precise paper cutting:
used by Ottoman artists as a collage method, katu has been expanded by
Ozgoren and used in complex ebru painting procedures.
Both aesthetically and technically, Ozgoren seeks to respect the
deep traditions of his art in order to make authentically new, vigorous
works in their spirit. He has carried out important research in old
methods and forms, and has used them as the base for his innovations.
Ozgoren's work in ebru has been shown in major solo exhibitions in museums
in the USA, Turkey, and Bahrain, and has been acquired by many public and
private collections internationally.
In 1987, Dr. Esin Atul (Curator of Near Eastern Art at the Arthur
M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. and
author of The Age of Sultan Suleyman The Magnificent and editor of
Islamic Art and Patronage; The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait) wrote: "I
have followed Mr. Ozgoren's development in the art of ebru. . . He is
indeed a master and not only utilizes traditional techniques but creates
his own. He has perfected a remarkable technique of making extremely
large examples, which have never been attempted before. He also combines
a variety of techniques, using stencil and resist methods, and enhancing
his work with calligraphy. He now has a series of panels with drawings of
naturalistic flowers framed by several types of ebru. . . I found them
outstanding."
Dr. Walter Denny (Professor of Islamic Art History at the
University of Massachusetts and Honorary Curator of Textiles and Carpets
at the Harvard University Art Museums) wrote in his 1994 catalogue essay
on Ozgoren's work for the Jordan National Gallery of Art "The rapid
advance of Ozgoren's work in ebru resulted from his intense concentration
on aesthetic and technical issues, coupled with an extremely focused and
unusually energetic artistic process. Out of his wide-ranging critique of
society and its values sprang his enthusiasm for those enduring elements
in Ottoman culture still linked by living practice to the contemporary
world. His awareness of his membership within the heritage of
practitioners of the past generated both his respectful, wide-ranging
assimilation of their work and his aspiration to serve them best by
surpassing them."
Beyond the contribution of their beauty as art, Ozgoren's ebru
works engage the ongoing dialogue concerning the politics of cultural
identity, which has been especially sharply focused in Turkey since the
Turkish Republic's establishment and aggressive pursuit of its policy of
cultural westernization. For example, Ozgoren, born in 1942, belongs to a
generation of Turks rendered unable to read both classical art calligraphy
and texts of literature and history written in their language by their
grandfathers, since the Arabic alphabet was abolished and the Latin
alphabet adopted for Turkish in 1922. Thus Ozgoren's use, in contemporary
art, of Turkish calligraphy in the Arabic script argues not only for its
innate aesthetic power, but also for the reintegration of Turkish cultural
identity to include the Ottoman as well as the modern.
