VIRON EROL VERT

Vert analyses human kind regarding social and cultural topics in society. He is interested in the contrasts evolving from the results of combining antagonizing elements. By confronting mythological as well as figurative elements with issues of the present, he is searching for new realities.

His choice of media is related to the topic at hand and involves a wide range from sculpture and collage over painting on paper and canvas to print on fabric and sound. The diversity of his work is mirrored in his artistic expression and his unique way of selecting and combining unusual materials reflects his contentual artistic aspects. The collision of all those aspects allows Vert to override fixed positions and to look for new solutions in form and content.

Vert studied at the UdK in Berlin and the Department for Visual Art at the Royal Academy in Antwerp. He has graduated with mentionable honor his master class in Fashion design at the HTW, Berlin and at the Department for Experimental Surface at the KHB in Berlin.

In 2008 Viron Erol Vert won the first prize in the category Painting and Illustration, of the turkish Society for Sculpting and Arts awarded by Aksanat, Istanbul.
