Career including participation in the Sonsbeek sculpture park (1966), two solo exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (1970, 1998) and the purchase of his work by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He also designed the National Slavery Monument, which was completed in 2002 in the Oosterpark in Amsterdam.
In addition to sculptures, De Vries makes numerous paintings, drawings and (bronze) portraits.
De Vries's formal language is related to the language of COBRA. His work is exuberant in colour, expressive and directly painted. The human figure and in particular the woman are central to his work. The women in his paintings are portrayed in passionate and often erotic poses with powerful brushstrokes. Sensuality and dynamism is what characterizes his work: organic lines on the canvas and fiercely sculpted figures in bronze. In his work he combines figurative with stylized abstract forms. Erwin de Vries is known as a prolific, temperamental artist.
