About the Item
Eric Blum mines the indeterminate area on the periphery of what is actually seen. The mostly monochromatic paintings employ his signature ingredients of ink, silk and beeswax. Transparent, collage-like layers are developed within the guidelines of an initial, meaningless drawing. He drags his designated imagery through a process of opposing inclinations: rotating, flipping, covering, uncovering, overlapping, tearing, excising and splicing. Layers beneath are unearthed and unexpected juxtapositions appear. In some cases much of the entire painting is cut away, leaving the remaining fragments consigned to the edges of the frame and wrapping around the side of the panel. Finely, his original set of elements has been rearranged into a kind of visual anagram…or “misunderstanding,” as he calls it…no longer resembling its own preconception.
Eric Blum
Eric Blum was educated at UCLA, St Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. Blum’s layered arrangements of ink-washed, wax-infused silk are rooted in modern painting techniques, yet activated by the experimental manipulation of his media. While initially drawing inspiration from the world around him, he dives into his work blindly, putting his materials through a process of layering, rotating, covering and uncovering, until he settles the elements into a visual anagram; no longer resembling his preconception. The ambiguity of Blum’s references and the elusiveness of his narrative are beguiling. Its parts don’t always go together, and when viewed anew it becomes something other than itself. Creating work that is more desirable, poetic or preposterous than when it began.
