Ergin İnan’s Amos series, which consists of drawings and manuscripts, meets with the audience at EArt Gallery, after his latest exhibition ‘Me, Myself, Ergin İnan’.
İnan explores the impact of light and color in nature on humans in the Amos series. Through his fine art prints on rough gravure paper, İnan utilizes various techniques to depict nature, insects, and humans.
In one of his manuscripts, İnan explains Amos series in a poetic way, saying that: ‘‘”Both colors and shapes are connected to your gaze. Ask the light from the sky, about colors and forms…If I bring together beautiful colors and shapes, why surprised? If your arms and wings are blooming colorfully, why surprised?”
A specially designed set box contains 19 editions of drawings and a 7-page manuscript.
One of the most established artists of the Turkish art scene Ergin İnan produced works in many mediums such as painting, collage, pattern, and sculpture. In different periods he focused on different themes such as Mevlana and his doctrines, nature, humans, ontology, and metaphysics. Later on, the “insects” İnan began drawing and became the artist’s trademark.
Earlier in his career, he was awarded a scholarship by the Salzburg Summer Academy where he studied painting with Emilio Vedova.
His works are in private and public collections in Turkey and around the world. Among these, we can count İstanbul Modern Museum, İstanbul State Painting and Sculpture Museum, Antwerp Contemporary Arts Museum (MUHKA) (Belgium), Dahlem Museum (Kupferstich Kabinett) (Berlin, Germany), Kunstverein Frechen (Germany), Meermanno Mestreemanium (Netherlands).
In 2010, İnan won the Presidential Culture and Arts Grand Awards, the annual awards awarded by the Presidency of Turkey, in the painting category.
