Eric Howes
Artist Statement
Eric Howes has been drawing maps and creating imaginary worlds for over 30 years. Recent paintings have focused on experiences living in the Western United States, exploring the interplay between the inner world and external environment. The menu bars introduce a duality that symbolizes the physical and digital realms simultaneously. As viewers engage with the tangible elements of the painting alongside the symbolic representation of digital space, they are prompted to consider the influence of digital technology on their perception of reality.
