Eris Silke
Eris Silke is a self-taught artist who works predominantly in black and white and in a style reminiscent of a Gothic fantasy. ‘From early on her psychological insight manifested in her work, particularly the influence of Jung and Freud. Dreams and fantasies are lifted from the depths of her subconsious and transferred to the canvas.’
- Suzanne Belling, June 2009.
Eris Silke was born in the Eastern European province of Transylvania. Of Hungarian extraction and Israeli upbrining, Eris is currently based in Cape Town. She has about 30 solo exhibitions to her credit and her work can be found in numerous collections locally and abroad, including that of the SA National Gallery.
