Erik J. Erikson
The Rule And The Ruler Wall Sculpture

2019

About the Item

The Rule And The Ruler, 3D Wall Art Mixed Media under museum-quality plexiglass photos are with and with out plexiglass. Artist statment: "I have long been fascinated by England’s early drawing instruments as well as fountain pens from the 18th, 19th & 20th century. I developed a special interest in the subject as a designer and artist and recently created this very special 3D wall art. The history of the art of drawing and writing with these tools of draughtsmanship had different functions over time and now their precise magnificence and beauty can be admired as one special entity. Please note that this collection of instruments are all antique". Very often Erikson art echoes and fuses antiquity and modernity. Erikson’s central imagery concerns itself with intrigue and a sense of surprise. His body of work is often dispersed with visual, tactile and intellectual delights that lead the viewer on their own form of discovery. Erikson’s awareness of the aesthetic in sending things back in time is a result of studying the Renaissance and other periods of art history. This infusion of historical art references has had a vital effect on his body of work. Heavily influenced by the well known New York art dealer Allan Stone (who represented, among other giants, Joseph Cornell, and Willem de Kooning, Erikson has never departed from Stone’s insistence that “surprise” should remain with a piece of art no matter how long it is viewed. The discipline of archeology decodes messages of the past to find meanings of objects and classify them. This observation takes the viewer on a deeper understanding of the interplay. As a curator of his own “museum cases” in other work, Erikson’s personal vocabulary evokes images of extreme preciousness combined in miniature settings. Despite its minute scale his work commands presence and a sense of vastness. In his body of work, Erikson attempts to introduce sculpture to painting as a way of integrating the second and third dimensions.
