Exhibitions

EP is pleased to announce the opening of its upcoming exhibit: the watercolor painting of Eran Fraenkel, that opens on Thursday, November 4th, 2010, at 19:00.

Born in Jerusalem, Eran Fraenkel has lived all over the world: in the US; the Balkans; Western Europe; the Middle East; and since 2005 in Indonesia. Eran’s story has always been rooted in music. In his early teens, he discovered Balkan folk music and since then has been immersed in traditional musical cultures from SE Europe, the Middle East, and now Indonesia.

Eran founded and played in various Balkan bands, including MERAK in Los Angeles. For him, MERAK, meaning “passion” in the Balkans, is where music and painting intersect.

As a self-taught artist, Eran is inspired by all his diverse musical experiences that he fuses to create rhythm, texture, and timbre in paint. Eran has also been influenced by the calligraphic traditions of Islam and the geometries of Islamic art, as is evident in his pen and ink drawings.
So -- come, have a wonderful meal, and go home with a unique work of locally created art.
