Eric paints scenes that employ a personal narrative. This narrative explores an inner landscape in a cathartic spirit and in doing so conjures images laden with an almost familiar symbolism, which ultimately is known only to the artist. He also embarks on seemingly straight-forward portraits which on closer inspection reveal a disturbing quality that is an expression of the himself rather than the subject. His style is a unique form or realism that amalgamates attempts at renaissance composition with television painter Bob Ross’ wet on wet technique.
