“Genç Heykel” Sergisi (Exhibition of Young Artists’
Sculpture), held between September 20-27, 2014 in Nişantaşı Sanat Parkı in İstanbul,
has brought together some of the important young sculptors of contemporary art.
Even though there were more than twenty
pieces of art in the exhibition, the three were quite impressive: Renkli
Yalanlar, Partenogenez and Doyumsuzluk.

| Renkli Yalanlar |
One of the works of art
displayed was Renkli Yalanlar/The Colourful Lies which was made by
Derya Özparlak, using hand forged metal and seam. Özparlak stated that the
power of lectern is an indisputable fact for all societies. This platform,
smartly designed in such a way that aggrandizes the speaker and puts up a wall
between him or her and the audience, has the power that allows him or her to impose
everything he or she wants upon the audience. In spite of the fact that these
colourful microphones seem as the representations of happiness and being straight,
with the speaker and the lectern, they consist a trinity that plays a major
role in all lies.

| Partenogenez |
Another artwork from
the exhibition was Partenogenez/The Parthenogenesis which was made
by Bahadır Çolak, using metal pipe, waste construction iron and automotive
paint. Çolak mentioned that urbanization and relentless constructions, the
common problems of metropolitan cities, continue to narrow down our breathing
spaces. With this work, he presents the incarnation of asexual reproduction
occurring in this city. For this reason, he has chosen to use mushrooms, which
also reproduce asexually.

| Doyumsuzluk |
The other art piece was
Doyumsuzluk/The Greed which was made by Ayhan Mutlu using granite.
With this work, he draw attention to the greed becoming meaningless. Mutlu
argued that although they get everything they wanted, their avarice continue to
grow. Owing to the fact that all resources people need take their source from
nature, the more they try to satisfy their greed, the more they exploit the
nature. This special large bag was designed to make them become satisfied.
