Beneath a deep blue sea and sky spanned by the Bosphorus Bridge, Istanbul unfolds with its domes and minarets as a bird's-eye panorama in the rhythmic weave of thousands of fine lines. The work is accompanied by the artist's coded certificate of authenticity.
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.
