Eye Opener 2009

"Eye Opener" (2009) by Turkish artist Burhan Dogancay (1929-2013) is a mixed media work that explores the themes of urban life and visual consumption. Dogancay is known for his distinctive style of collage, layering fragments of paper and other materials to create textured and evocative surfaces. The work features a prominent eye, framed and placed amidst layers of torn and faded posters, evoking the visual clutter of city walls. This artwork is a prime example of Dogancay's work, which often incorporates found objects and ephemera to explore the relationship between art and everyday life.
