Eric Freeman
Eric Freeman (b. 1970) is an American abstract painter known for luminous, atmospheric works that explore the perceptual effects of color, light, and surface. Working with oil and custom iridescent pigments on canvas, Freeman builds paintings through multiple layers of translucent and reflective color, creating shifting optical effects that change according to the viewer’s position and the surrounding light. His compositions can appear alternately flat and deeply spatial, giving the painted surface an almost architectural presence. Influenced by the immersive investigations of light associated with artists such as James Turrell and Dan Flavin, as well as the chromatic concerns of Color Field painters including Mark Rothko and Josef Albers, Freeman has developed a distinctive visual language in which subtle changes in hue, density, and reflectivity generate a sense of movement and depth. He earned his BFA from Tufts University in 1993 and has exhibited internationally at galleries including Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm, Galerie Forsblom in Helsinki, Mary Boone Gallery and Stephen Stux Gallery in New York, and Saatchi Gallery in London. His work is held in public and private collections including the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, the Saatchi Gallery, and the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York. Freeman lives and works in Sagaponack, New York.
