BENJAMIN HEINE AND DAVID BALDINGER’S PORTRAITS..

KARIKATUR YARISMALARI UZERINE BAZI GORUSLERIM

 

Karikatur Yarismalari oldum olasi ilgimi cekmistir,17. Yy felsefe akimlarindan Occasionlistler aklima gelir hep, onlara gore cisim ve ruh arasinda bir baglanti vardir ornegin ruhtan bedene gecmek gercek bir bedenle degil bir ‘vesile’ ile olur. 1970’ lerin basindan beri karikatur yarismalarina katiliyorum ,saniyorum benim gibi bir cok karikaturcu katiliyor veya katildi.Benim icin bu yarismalar karikatur sanatina bulasmama vesile oldu. Hatta bunlarin asiri gidenlerine ‘yarismaci tip ‘dedikodusu bile yapildi. 40 yillik surecte Turkiye ve Dunyada bu yarismalara katilanlara az cok asina olduk Cocuklugumda koy koy dolasan yagli guresciler vardi, yilda birkac gures kazanip nafakayi dogrultur sonra da kaybolur giderlerdi. Biraz bunlara benzedigimi hissettigim oluyor zaman zaman.

19. yy sanayi devrimi uluslarin arasina ekonomik ucurumlar koydugu gibi,bazi toplumlari toparlanamaz hale getirdi , her turlu somuruyu arkasina alan ve sadece kar etmeyi dusunen bu uluslara karsi Varolsculuk,Humanizm gibi ‘Insan felsefeleri’de kar etmedi.Esitlikciler yirtindikca inadina cesitli aristokrasiler(seckinciler) ortaya cikti.Nasil ki ortacagda sanat dinin hizmetinde ise bugun seckincilerin hizmetine girdi sanki . Bir cok soylesimde bosu bosuna gercek karikatur sanatinin desteklenmesi gerektigini belirttim durdum.Kent yoneticilerine,kultur bakanligimiza sozle,yazi ile ve ima yolu ile basvurdum ama bosuna tabi.Tum bunlarin yaninda karikaturden asla vazgecmemesi ve sayfalarinda mutlaka karikatur olmasi gereken yazili basin nedense gereken ilgiyi gostermiyor karikature.

Sanat, bir toplumda ozgurlugun tek ifade alanidir cunku sanatin verdigi bilgi ‘yaratici hayal gucu’ ile olusur.Hayal gucu ile ortaya konan bilgiler objektif degil ‘bireysel’dir,bu bilgiler icin ve dolayisi ile ozgur olmak icin sanatciya ihtiyac vardir.Bu sanat skalasi icinde bana gore karikatur ‘un ayri bir yeri vardir.Ozunde elestiri,saldiri,yerme,alaya alma,boyun eymeme vs. gibi kurulu hayati olumlu olarak degistime yolunda etken olabilecek unsurlari tasir,gozumuzu acar.

Tum olumsuzluklara karsin karikaturculer eserlerini uretmeye ve onlari bir vesile ile gostermeye calisirlar .Sergi,basim(,gazete ,dergi,album,kart vs.),elektronik ortam ,animasyon,esya uzerine baski gibi .Karikatur yarismalari ise sanatcinin eserlerini gosterdikleri,sergileme sansi buldukleri,bazen parasal veya manevi oduller kazandiklari,is teklifleri aldiklari bir ortami olusturabilir,bunun yaninda mesleki orgutlere girerek sanatsal ve sosyal cevrelerini genisletmeye vesile olurlar.

Dunyada ve ulkemizde degisIk kalitede yarismalar yapiliyor-bu ayri bir arastirma konusu olur kanimca – Juri ve degerlendirmede olumlu yanlarin oldugu gibi laf olsun,sanat etkinligi olsun da ne olursa olsun anlayisini da goruyoruz(daha cok belediye organizasyonlarinda gorulen) ,soz verilen albumlerin yapilmamasi ,yapilanlarin politik reklam kokmasi,odullerin verilmeyisi ,cok garip odullerin konmasi,karikature gostermelik destek verilmesi ,bazi yarisma organizasyon ve sponsorlarinin kendilerini oskar,olimpiyat,en onemli ,bir numara ,Medici ailesi gibi kasilmalari yakistirip hava atma derdine fazlaca kapilip isin ozunden uzaklasimalari gorulmustur.

Karikatur yarismalarinin bundan sonra da devam edecegini ,karikatur yarismalarini bir cesit kazanc kapisi gibi gorenlerin yaninda ozellikle karikature yeni baslayanlara olumlu yonde bir guduleme olacagini ,umdugunu bulamayanlara bir cesit fuar olacagini saniyorum ama karikaturde gelismek icin tek sansin yarismalar olmadiginda bilmeliyiz.

Hi artist Yasser Ahmad

Above all I want to tell you that I respect you as much a great artist and I want to tell you
that I love your ideas and your way of drawing and I ask you to excuse me
if I have trouble doing by my statement.
But I want to clarify once again that my drawing was the first to be published on the site.
it is easily verifiable as you can see the historic site. Now if the similarity was proved at the time of selection,
the jury needed to remedy this situation by cancelling outright or two drawings by another procedure.
In doing so this incident does not affect my respect for you as great artist Ahmad Yasser expensive and
for all Syrian artists that I admire very much and good continuation.
