About the Item
Turkish-born Derya Ozparlak is known for her provocative and uniquely beautiful hand-hammered sculptures. Rendered in fine detail, ‘The Deranged’ is a steel straight-jacket with a shirt and tie attached to a floating bouquet of bright blue balloons. Derya Ozparlak's sculptures often illustrate the human struggle for emancipation.
"Since I began working in Canada, the metaphor of the balloon concept has developed. When I observed a downtown area, it was dominated by skyscrapers. I always saw the same problem with white-collar workers. They were in a rush, working very hard. So, I said to myself, they are living in an invisible prison and that has never changed." -Ozparlak
Since completing a BFA from the Anadolu University in Turkey, Ozparlak has exhibited in Toronto, Chicago, Almeria in Spain, Beirut , Berlin, New York City, Palermo and across Turkey. Her artwork is held in private and corporate collections in Canada, Istanbul, Berlin, and Capri.
