Eric Blum
Eric Blum "Untitled no. 977" Ink, Silk, and Beeswax on Panel

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.

  • Utterance boundaries. Abstract mixed media painting on canvas.
    By On Hansen
    Located in Miami Beach, FL
    Utterance boundaries, 2022 by On Hansen Oil wax, acrylic, graphite, organic ink, and crayon on canvas. Image size: 48 in. H x 36 in. W Mounted on a stretcher ____________________________ On Hansen originally from Scandinavia is the pseudonym used by the photographer Cristian Hunter, a third-generation artist who has spent most of his professional career as a photographer. His work bears the traces of lived experiences, exploring the possibilities of formal abstraction, and seeking an organic experience between space and time through painting and photography. “There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.” ― Albert Camus...
