Artist Eric Sanders Presents Second Solo Art Exhibition at Respected Los Angeles Gallery Eastern Projects - September 1st - 30th
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Artist Eric Sanders is set to unveil his second solo show at renowned Los Angeles gallery Eastern Projects, curated by highly respected art critic Peter Frank. This solo show will showcase, for the first time, selections from Sanders' vast archive of digital drawings printed at a large scale on aluminum surfaces. Sanders' digital output boasts hundreds of images created in a wide variety of styles. From those, Frank has selected a cohesive group of eighteen abstract pieces. This group highlights Sanders' use of all-over composition, automatic mark-making, and exuberant color. The title "Electric Caterpillar" reflects Sanders' playful approach to this body of work.
About the exhibition, Sanders says, "These digital pieces are the most expansive aspect of my practice. The casual nature of the medium allows me to truly embrace play and variety. Through the speed of digital drawing, I'm able to tap into my subconscious and bring forth instinctive mark-making. I am grateful to Rigo Jimenez for continuing to believe in my work, and proud to have my second solo show at Eastern Projects."
The exhibition, which will be held at the highly regarded Eastern Projects, will feature eighteen of Sanders' digital works printed on aluminum surfaces. This solo exhibition will mark the first works shows of Sanders' vast archive of digital works.
"There's a sense of intensification, of amplification, that powers Eric Sanders' digital work. It's not that his other modalities lack this focused bravado, but few can match the turned-to-12 rasp of his digital painting. Figuratively and literally, they're live-wire – not just plugged-in or turned-on, but dyed and fried. This is some eye-banging stuff."
-Peter Frank
