Eric Lopresti



Lopresti is an Brooklyn-based artist working working with oil and ink on linen and the images he creates are quiet yet astounding. Lopresti utilizes empty landscape images but adds the vivd colors with the ink. He is also able to break up vast empty picture planes by adding graphic/geometric lines contrasting the foundation image. Lopresti's combining elements create a quiet, soft beauty which at the same time provide a stimulating vivid experience. The artist stated that he "investigates the cultural after-effects of dramatic conflict, focusing on the aftermath of the Cold War and its associated landscapes." His works depict a chilling interpretation, a successful rendering of his concept.
