Erol Bulut (born 1955, Istanbul) is a multi-award-winning Turkish painter and a professor of fine arts at Marmara University between 1982 and 2021.[1] His subjects, often romantic and sensitive, are portrayed with a level of imagination and emotion that has captivated audiences. His work has been widely taught in universities due to their particular geometric composition, unique style and tones[2]. His artworks are included in many notable galleries’ permanent collections, making him one of the most influential Turkish painters of modern times[3].

Early life and Career

Erol Bulut was born in İğneada, Kırklareli, in 1955, as the middle child among five children to a family immigrated from Thessaloniki two generations ago. Due to his father's profession as a member of Turkish Land Forces, he completed his primary, secondary, and high school education in various regions of Turkey. Consequently, he had the privilege of experiencing diverse regions and cultures of Turkey during his formative years.

During his childhood, Erol Bulut harboured a dream which led him to enter the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts - Department of Painting (IDGSA), currently known as Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul. In 1982, he successfully graduated earning the esteemed "Certificate of Excellence" from the Istanbul Artists and Art Lovers Association for his exceptional artistic talent. His diligence during his academy years earned him the nickname "Coach" among his friends. In 1980, while still a student, he married Ümran Bulut (Şehirali), who also later became Professor of Fine Arts education at Marmara University[4].

Since his time at the academy, Erol Bulut has held 26 solo exhibitions and participated in over a hundred exhibitions with other artists. He has received a total of 11 awards, domestically and internationally, spanning from his student days until he became a Professor. Throughout the years, the artist has also served as an organizer, and jury president for numerous painting competitions.

Artistic Style

Erol Bulut is a masterfully skilled artist who stays true to his own identity and does not explicitly engage in propaganda or seek to cater to popular tastes. He prioritizes his personal fulfilment in the paintings he creates and does not compromise his artistic integrity. While his works exude a dreamy and fantastical ambiance at first glance, the themes and elements he incorporates are actually an extension of his direct or indirect experiences in life. Affection, romance, sadness, pain, pessimism, longing, hope, resentment—every aspect of life manifests itself in his paintings. His works can be deemed as a dreamy autobiography with a sense of naturalism intact or the embodiment of life translated into art.

Erol Bulut, as a keen observer and investigator, creates compositions imbued with emotional depth and bases his style on foundations of fantasy and surrealism, employing metaphysical elements in a measured manner. However, it should be noted that this does not imply Erol Bulut's sole affiliation with the surrealist movement. The style prevalent in his paintings directly derives from metaphysical and fantastical elements, reflecting the ephemeral nature of life.
