Energetic,
graceful, dynamic and extremely positive are perhaps
the best words to describe the works of artist Eric
Waugh.
Waugh's
art draws us into an expressive vision of warmth,
positivity and hope, reflecting his perception and
appreciation of life.
From
clear and detailed images in Waugh's mind, the speed
and effectiveness by which he carries these thoughts
through to fruition, makes the definitive results
seem effortless.
Although
the majority of Waugh's work in acrylic and mixed
media are one of a kind, they are however linked with
a similar deep thematic vibrancy. His paintings are
seemingly riveted together with the artists characteristic
gold-dots which act as points of union to harmonize
the ethereal colours and images of each piece into
a unified rhythmical composition.
Flowing
from his natural artistic talent and through progressive
experimentation with various methods and media, Waugh
creates works of art in both the abstract and representational,
the latter taking on the gracefully interpreted elements
of the human structure, in an embracing ballet of
form, texture and colour.
Waugh
has also reached beyond the bounds of the two-dimensional
wall, releasing his images into open space. He has
accomplished this in a number of varied ways...
Waugh
has designed an ideal blend of painting and sculpture,
the "Mesa-Tableau"' a new art form, innovative and
uniquely his own. This is an original canvas scrolled
horizontally around two columns and mounted on a pedestal
base. Another Waugh conception, free form porcelain
vessels, are encompassed by his original images, rich
in colour and texture, creating an exquisite balance
of function and form in a work of art. Waugh has also
introduced a three-dimensional sculptural silhouette.
The primary form of this art piece is drawn from Waugh's
painting. Carved from wood, then engaged with his
artistic techniques, unifying the elements of shape,
balance and colour.
Waugh's
rise through the art world has been overwhelming.
Born in Montreal in 1963, he is self taught in every
artistic aspect. He gained experience in the fields
of graphic illustration and product design before
turning to painting in 1988. Since then, his popularity
among art connoisseurs has escalated in galleries
in virtually every major city in North America. His
paintings have been acquired by hundreds of major
corporate and private collectors worldwide.
Exquisite
balance of rich iridescent colour, subtle texture
and timeless graphic images in combination with his
great creative diversity and passion for painting,
has placed Eric Waugh at a level of prominence in
today's international art market.
