ERENUS ART GALLERY 2007 - 2008 ACTIVITIES

Eser AFACAN (1953,Tarsus)

Eser Afacan studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Manchester and Exeter, England; Mathematics and Science at the University of Bergen, Norway. Coincidentally, he met the famous Norwegian artist Odd Nerdrum and attended his atelier/Renaissance Art School in Oslo(1983-1986). In 2003, he moved to Canada from Norway, where he lived and worked for 25 years.

He is a modern day alchemist. He is widely known for his self developed unique technique; his method of using various chemicals while painting.

He is a drama painter. He depicts feelings on canvas and absorbs the viewers into that dramatic journey of “the human being”.

He continuously works to improve his proficiency and enthusiastically trains other artists. His works of art are sought after by collectors.

Eser Afacan feels the honour and excitement of sharing his works of art produced throughout the past 25 years with us, in his first solo exhibition at home.
