For the past three years Eric has been working on a large scale painting commission for the Center for Medical Ethics at Columbia University, a project scheduled for completion in May of this year.
Eric’s work deals directly with the act of seeing, obsessive looking, and optical ambiguity. Pulling from social media, art history, television and film, his paintings act as props and icons: objects that glean meaning from their context and point to larger systems of understanding.
