Bio: Most of the artist featured on this
blog tend to be from the USA or from Western Europe. There are a few – a very
few - from the Far East, Asia, or Australia and New Zealand. Up to recently the
very fine artist Javad Soleimanpour was the sole representative of Turkey, but
I am now pleased to be able to add another artist from Turkey to the blog. Rüstem
Ersöz was born in 1962 in Eskişehir. As a child, he moved about in different
cities in Turkey because of his father’s work. Rüstem attended military
college, and after graduation was posted to various locations in Turkey and
abroad. He maintained his early interest in art, painting as a pastime during
his army career. When he retired seven years ago with the rank of colonel, he
decided to concentrate on pastel and take it to a new level. Javad Soleimanpour
was a great influence, and Rüstem took classes with him to hone his skills. He has
participated in several exhibitions mostly in İstanbul, where he still lives with
his wife and two sons.
Medium: Pastel – mostly Rembrandt.
Subjects: Portraits; still life; landscape.
It is interesting that like Javad Soleimanpour, Rüstem Ersöz tries his hand,
very successfully, at a number of genres.
Style: Representational.
