Land of Origines

From Caucaso, a border land, come continually new ideas and suggestions in seeking a special language dominated by shades where everyone can reveal himself to himself.

Murat Dishek canvases describe a primordial and mythical place in a moment particularly intense of his life. In this incredible land his feelings have indefinite shapes created by material power and by painting charm.



The words of George Byron can help us to imagine the inner world of Murat Dishek:

"Our life is twofold; Sleep hath its own world,
A boundary between the things misnamed
Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality,
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;
They leave a weight upon our waking thoughts,
They take a weight from off our waking toils,
They do divide our being; they become
A portion of ourselves as of our time,
And look like heralds of eternity;
They pass like spirits of the past, - they speak
Like sybils of the future; they have power -
The tyranny of pleasure and of pain;
They make us what we were not - what they will,
And shake us with the vision that'sgone by,
The dread of vanish'd shadows- Are they so?
Is not the past all shadow? What are they?
Creations of the mind? - The mind can make
Substance, and people planets of its own
With beings brighter than have been, and give
A breath to forms which can outlive all flesh,
I would recall a vision which I dream'd
Perchance in sleep -  for in itself a thought,
A slumbering thought, is capable of years,
And curdles a long life into one hour."
