Erasmus' work is represented in several art collections, including the National Museum of African Art and the Smithsonian Institution. Among other formats Erasmus is known for his Resistance Art protesting the apartheid regime in South Africa. Beginning as graffiti protest art his State of Emergency series depicts images of entrapment. Writing in a review of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Arts 2002 exhibition "Encounters With the Contemporary," critic Mark D'Amato called Erasmus' painting The Muse 3 (1995) "a highlight." Erasmus' work uses his archival research to approach his Khosian lineage, and drawing on figures from Khosian cosmology. Erasmus has "employed Afrikaans text to comment on the brutal Khosian history and its impact on present descendants, opening a window onto the way this history has been repressed."

He attended Paterson High School in Port Elizabeth and later attended a teachers training program at Hewat Training College in Cape Town. He later attended Rhodes University, and founded the community artists organization Vakalisa Arts Associates in the Cape. He was a participant in the Thupelo Workshop program during the 1980s.
