Where do you find your inspiration for your art? I find inspiration everywhere. Everywhere you look, you can find inspiration if you want to be creative.
The lights, the colors, the people, other artists and art - it is all around you. I want to emphasize Los Angeles though because all of those aspects are abundant here. They all paint in different styles, but their commonality is their unique use of color. Tell us about your routine behind creating art?
Usually, I get an idea and I try to implement it on the canvas - but of course in the process of doing it, the idea starts to develop and takes on a life of its own.
I follow where that leads me. Figurative work is one thing, abstract is another, and the 3-D pieces are its own as well. Generally, I like to experiment with material. For this show I worked with paint and how it can be applied in different ways to create texture and movement without being flat. I think everyone has a gift in some way that can be developed.
I was interested in art, for as long as I can remember. I would make drawings for other kids in exchange for my homework in elementary school. I just feel like I am home when I paint. It has become therapeutic for me. Although there are different themes, the pieces have this candy-like quality to them. I experimented with a range of nacreous colors using 3-d textures.
The monochromes are more soothing, but the three-dimensional nature still gives them movement, which I love. On the other pieces, I merged the idea of texture with color to create movement within a multicolored plane. I am excited to have these paintings up in such a special space. The Magic Box is a unique way of showing art. My Cart. Exxhibit Arts at Mondrian Los Angeles. Eric is a local resident and was born here in the City of Angels.
Tell me about your upbringing? When did art become a focus for you? Basketball was my focus as a kid. I went to college and did study studio art. But after college I focused on a career in finance. I ended up going back to business school and ended spending many years working on Wall Street.
In I quit my horrible job. I was burned out. It was during this self-imposed time out that I started focusing on art. It was such a restorative period of exploration. I knew then that I wanted to continue making art for the rest of my life. Tell me about that? The Lego pieces are meant to celebrate some of my favorite icons who lived extraordinary lives.
These images are juxtaposed against unknown people who have endured real hardship. It is an exercise in perspective building. The two other pieces dare to share potentially irreconcilable views on money So can you tell me how you came up with the idea for the LEGO pieces being exhibited? This got me thinking about the notion of pixelization — any image can be broken down into small units of color. Even as the units of color get bigger, your eye works with your brain to assimilate the image.
I was thinking what uniform object could I use as the units of color and it occurred to me that I could use Legos. I really do subscribe to the idea that a rich life will be one filled with an abundance of human connection and experience. I think a lot of people have this internal tug of war with money and the art aims to bring this to life. From bartenders and waiters to bellmen, we've reached into our pockets so you never have to.
