About Me
- Name: eRic
- Location: London, United Kingdom
The need for pictures usually comes from the lack of words to express a feeling or a thought, so I've never had the urge to talk at length about my work. The pictures do it for themselves... Being completely self-taught might explain my non-academic approach to "Art". I have been living in London for 10 crazy years where I work as a freelance graphic artist/painter. Feel free to post a comment if you like the stuff or email me if you want to know more about it. Thanks for looking...

This painting, along with the previous untitled one, was started around 2001 at a time where I had no room to work and they both remained unfinished until now (only pencil and first layer of red was done on this one).
There is a lot to this picture I really like, mainly because of what it meant to me at the time and because I got to finish it now, when I have made the "cut" with the situation and the people who surrounded me then. Some sort of funny subconscious life metaphor/sign…
Anyway, despite looking really grim I think it's very positive, but that's just me!
It was really difficult to take a decent photo of it and because the red & carmine are so lush and glossy, there's a lot of reflection from the flash. So the lens has eaten up most of the details and it looks like the edges are black, but no: the red-to-crimson/carmine is very deep but not black, and the bottom is a dark raw umber. Just had to be said.
I'll do my best to get a better shot if I can.
