Description
Erwin Jules de Vries: (Paramaribo, December 21, 1929 – Paramaribo, January 31, 2018) was a Surinamese visual artist. His art teacher Wim Bos Verschuur discovered his talent and advised his father to send him to the Netherlands. There he obtained the MO certificate in drawing at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 1952. From 1954 to 1958 De Vries was an art teacher in Suriname, but he preferred to become an artist. From 1958 to 1960 he studied sculpture at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. He had his first exhibition in Paramaribo in 1948 at the age of eighteen. After studying sculpture, he continued to live in Amsterdam where he was an independent artist. In 1984 he returned to Suriname for good.
