It Feeds Itself

By Eric White

Book Overview

Eric White's hyper-intensive, distortedly lucid paintings explore the shifting boundaries between beauty and horror. Developing out of the artist's fascination with the illusory properties and constructions of film, the paintings examine the varying layers of human perception by manipulating planes of focus and the reliability of form and colour. With work from four different galleries, this is a comprehensive collection of Eric White's career as a painter.

Weird but wonderfulll!!!

Hoo-eee! is what I said when I got through looking at this book. I didn't actually say it, on account I was in an 'alternative' bookstore in my godniece's neighborhood, and I didn't want all those howyoucallits looking crosswise. These pitchers are beautiful, strange, and haunting, like in the way LaToya Janckson is. Imagine those big-eyed kid paintings only if painted by the drippy-clock guy, or if he was on goofy tablets. At anyhoo, if you like surreal art dont miss this one. I dont know what they teach at Rhode Island art school these days but it aint "Draw Tippy!"

Beautiful Book!

I loved this book! The paintings are amazing, the design is beautiful, the writings by Gail Zappa and Viggo Mortensen are wild and there's a cool "inspirations" list in the back that really gives an idea of where the artist is coming from. Anyone who is a fan of Eric White's work should get this book. But I think it will also appeal to anyone with an interest in figurative painting or art in general.
