Erik Minter
United States
Minter received his Bachelors of Fine Arts at the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, NY in 2000. He went on to work for many prominent artists, later to shift into the commercial art world designing for both large and small companies. Since then Minter has returned back to painting where his work plays on bold, vibrant color combinations often met with sky-tone gradients that weave between graphical shapes and fluid-like splashes. Combining abstraction with surreal figuration, Minter has moved from digital drawings and photographic manipulations to paint and the physical surface, seeking to capture the emotion of experiences, either lived or dreamed, and to express his feelings and curiosity about life. With different layers that unfold over time, each work gives way to new discoveries. His technique, both premeditated and unplanned, channels him to find and explore pleasures, ironies and the mutable and plastic nature of existence.
