About the Item

Paul Ecke is a mid-career painter of contemporary non-figurative and figurative works on canvas and panel. His works are an amalgam of color, texture, and movement achieved through the application of oil and acrylic paints to canvas, all applied by brush, hand, and even trowel. The results are magnificent, colorful, thought and emotion-provoking images that convey the inner strength, conviction, and complexity of the artist. He was educated at California State University, Fullerton, receiving degrees in art with an emphasis in ceramic arts and painting. His classical training taught him to represent the human form. His skill as a ceramicist affects his paintings, giving them a three- dimensional quality through the application of textural media to his works on canvas. He is also a former educator for ten years in the public school system. He has been a professional artist for over four decades. His work is represented throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Paul’s most recent accomplishments are the publication of his memoir, “Boy Dreamer”, and his most recent children’s book “Noot the Root Goot.” “Boy Dreamer” received the finalist award in the prestigious international “Book Excellence Award.” Ecke’s memoir has been made into a screenplay and is awaiting a movie contract. After pursuing a career teaching art in the California public school system, he headed the Centralia School District’s art program. Ecke enjoyed his ten years as an educator but longed to pursue a full-time career in the creation of his own art. Ecke has been a full-time contributor to the contemporary art world since 1985. His works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Manila, Philippines, Cecut Museum, Baja Mexico, and the Daytona, Florida's Museum of Arts and Science, as well as The Crocker Museum, Sacramento, CA. He is represented and has shown in galleries in New York, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atalanta, San Diego, Palm Springs, Florida, Canada, the Philippines, and Indonesia. His works are in many private and corporate collections, including those of Universal Studios, George Lucas’s private collection, Jimmy Z Sportswear, Taco Bell, Flojet Corporation, Carsey Warner Productions, and Dionne Warwick's collection. Works by Paul Ecke are already slated to be part of an endowment of contemporary paintings and graphic art to the Tate Museum of Contemporary Art in London. He has been the featured artist in numerous publications, including Los Angeles Times, Art in America, International Fine Art Collector Magazine, Space Magazine, Luxe magazine, and California Homes and Lifestyles. Paul lives in Southern California, USA.
