Beneath a flock of birds filling a mustard-yellow sky, the Galata Tower rises on the shore of the turquoise Golden Horn amid thousands of finely drawn rooftops, revealing the fabric of Istanbul as a single weave.
About the Artist
Devrim Erbil (b. 1937, Uşak) is one of the pioneering figures of contemporary Turkish painting. He graduated from the Painting Department of the İstanbul State Academy of Fine Arts in 1959, having trained under Halil Dikmen and Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, and went on to serve at the Academy for many years as both teacher and administrator. His urban panoramas, which interpret Istanbul through a rhythmic, linear abstraction, remain the most celebrated theme of his art. Named a State Artist in 1991, Erbil is represented in Turkey's foremost museum collections.
