Eric Carbrey - Canvas Prints

Eric Carbrey is a painter from Kansas, who creates geometric art that feels as if the shapes are growing into their current frozen positions. He tries to create complexity with simplicity, and at the same time simplicity with complexity. Shape and space, it is these elements that create an alliance between calm and chaos in his paintings. The calm comes from the use of solid flat color and intentional deliberate lines and bold simple shapes that create a marriage with chaos and disorder that can be found in the sheer amount of lines, the number of shapes and the complexity of the layers that create depth within the painting. Its rhythm and rhyme, up and down, a flow in and out of itself. The union of calm and chaos create harmony. “It is my hope that these paintings construct a rich evocative visual experience. My work combines color and shape, with compositional structure and illusion of space formulating works that are both pleasing and challenging to the eye.”
