Born in Bulgaria in 1926. Having studied engraving at Ankara Gazi Education Institute, Department of Painting and Art Education between 1946-1949, Aslıer worked at the Munich Academy of Graphic Arts in 1953-1954, and at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design between 1955-1958. After 1957, he conducted studies and research in European museums. Upon his return to Turkey, he became known in a short time with his paintings. He served concurrently as the head of the Graphic Design Department and as the director of the School of Applied Fine Arts (now Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts). He participated in state exhibitions between 1958-1975. He held his first solo exhibitions in 1958 at the Senatore Gallery in Stuttgart and in 1959 at the Vienna State Gallery. After 1960, he participated in the Ljubljana International Exhibition of Graphic Art, as well as printmaking exhibitions in Tokyo and Ravenna. He took part in Contemporary Turkish Graphics exhibitions held in Romania, Tunisia, Algeria, and Lebanon, the Sao Paulo International Biennial in 1967, and the International Print Exhibition Frechen in Germany in 1974-1976 and 1978. His works were featured in Contemporary Turkish Art exhibitions toured across European countries in 1963-1964. Having opened his first solo exhibitions in Turkey in early 1960 in Istanbul, Aslıer continued these exhibitions in Istanbul and Ankara in 1967. He won the Republic Award at the exhibition organized for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1973, and an achievement award at the State Painting and Sculpture Exhibition in 1974. He established and developed a studio of his own, and by transforming the printmaking workshop of the school where he worked as a faculty member into a resource workshop, he made a great contribution to the spread and adoption of original printmaking, especially among the young generation of artists. Aslıer received the title of professor in 1985 and was elected as the dean of the Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts. In 1993, he produced original printmaking works at Çamlıca Art House. The artist passed away in 2015, following an artistic life adorned with many successful exhibitions and prestigious awards he was deemed worthy of.
