Kunstniku kingitus 2003. aastal


Burhan Doğançay loomingu keskmes on müürid ja seinad ning neil leiduvad ajaloo jäljed. Murranguline kunstnik, tuntud akadeemik, valitsusametnik ja isegi jalgpallur – Burhan Doğançay paistis silma kõiges, mis ta ette võttis. Akadeemilises plaanis õppis ta õigusteadust Ankara ülikoolis (1950) ja omandas seejärel ülikoolis Université de Paris doktorikraadi majandusteadustes (1950–1955). Tema kunstianne arenes isa Adil Doğançay ja Arif Kaptani juhendamise all, kes mõlemad on Türgi kunstimaastikul silmapaistvad tegelased. Pariisis võttis Doğançay kunstikursusi Académie de la Grande Chaumière’is. Pärast õpinguid viis töökoht valitsuses ta New Yorki, kus uued sõprussidemed, uued ringkonnad ja uued võimalused ahvatlesid teda linna elama jääma ning täielikult kunstile pühenduma. Doğançay otsis ja ka leidis inspiratsiooni linnaseintelt. Arvates, et seinad kannavad jälgi linna meeleoludest, minevikust, ebaõiglusest, vajadustest ja lootustest, reisis kunstnik mööda maailma tänavaid (ta on külastanud enam kui 100 riiki) ja luges neid, nagu oleks avanud raamatu. Urbanistlik keel peegeldub omakorda tema teostes, kus kompositsioon, värvid ja esteetika muudavad lõuendi omaette seinaks. „Austusavaldus kalligraafiale“ mängib poeetiliselt pinna mõistega. Abstraktne sinine kiri – selle kõverused ja paremalt vasakule kirjutusviis meenutavad araabiakeelset kalligraafiat – on keskelt puruks rebitud, et optilise illusiooni abil nähtavale tuua, mis on selle taga. Selline tava meenutab Lucio Fontana katkitõmmatud lõuendeid, ainult et Doğançay on rebitud efekti saavutanud üksnes optilise trikitamisega. Räsitud seina asemel on lõhkirebitud maaling.
