Two renowned artists, Devrim Erbil and Erol Evgin, who have reached the pinnacle of their art by transforming their great passions into a way of life, met at the State Academy of Fine Arts (Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University). Evgin, a student of famous teachers such as Cemal Tollu, Neşet Günal, Özdemir Altan, and Devrim Erbil at the Academy, began painting inspired by his teachers. He has been passionately pursuing his painting studies for over twenty years. Years later, they came together in a special exhibition titled "Side by Side," which was viewed by thousands of art lovers in prestigious art venues in Ankara, Kuşadası, Mersin, Urla, and İzmir. The visual arts feast of renowned artists opened today at 4 PM in Bursa Balat, at the Ninecim Art Center of the Orhan Education and Culture Foundation, established by Orhan Holding to add value to art.
The exhibition, coordinated by art writer/curator İbrahim Karaoğlu and art coordinator Dr. Zeki Hozer, attracted a large crowd of art lovers and artists from Bursa.
Young painter Neslihan Özkan, assistant to Devrim Erbil, also participated in the Bursa exhibition. Özkan, who continued her studies in the studio of painter/academician Devrim Erbil after her academic training, took part in this event at the request of her teacher and artist Erol Evgin. This special exhibition, bringing together different generations, can be viewed every day until April 29th. The exhibition "Side by Side," featuring artists who each create unique and magical artistic works through their own styles and the spaces they inhabit, is one of the most important and special art events of recent years.
Two masters who dedicated their lives to their art, along with young artist Neslihan Özkan, presented a visual art feast to art lovers in Bursa.
