About
Emirhan Eren (b. 1988, Istanbul) focuses on the transformation of form and meaning through the tense relationship he establishes between rigid structures and fluid surfaces. The structural precision of industrial materials and the spontaneity of watercolor converge in his practice as complementary modes of expression.
This approach is rooted in a re-evaluation of the historical evolution of modernist formal language from a contemporary perspective. In negotiating the balance between chance and control through material, the artist is concerned not only with what form is, but also with what it becomes over time.
