Epko Albert Jan Willering was a mid century School of Paris Dutch artist. Born in the Netherlands, Holland in 1928, Epko`s work has been exhibited worldwide in galleries in Montreal, Caracas, Munich, New York, Paris, Italy and in the Netherlands and can be found in the permanent collections of museums worldwide. Epko received awards and prizes in Paris for his work as well as the `Popular Vote Prize` in New York City in 1960. Epko not only was able to perfect his own style, heightened by a technique based on colour and its texture, but above all, that he succeeded in exploiting all this talent to become one of the artists that cannot be ignored on the international scene. 1958 – Prix Lefranc 1960 - The prestigious Prix Othon Friesz. 1960 - Collector’s Prize. He showed at the prestigious Felix Vercel gallery. They showed Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Claude Venard, Jacques Bouyssou and René Sinicki. Epko has been nicknamed the `Dutch Magician of Color` It is this colour which, beyond shapes and composition, allows Willering Epko to venture where many painters do not dare to go: into a dimension where the boundary between abstraction and figuration.
