Nes Lerpa is a celebrated artist who works with oil, acrylic, watercolor, and ceramics, and has had shows throughout Europe and in the U.S., China and India. Born in Denmark, today he lives in the hills behind Piacenza in Northern Italy, and in the woods north of Copenhagen. His work has been inspired by Hans Øllgaard, André Masson, Phillip Martin and Emilio Vedova. He notes that their friendship has been of great importance to him, as well as his travels to Spain, France, England, Italy, Lappland, Morocco and India, where he has stayed for long periods of time. Nes Lerpa's visit to the historic community of Silver City is made possible through a partnership of the Silver City Volunteer Library, St. Mary's Art Center, and the Silver City Arts group. Donations to Silver City's many free, public arts and culture programs are welcomed.
