Erik Parker shows at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in Chelsea. He seems to be an influential artist to me because of similar style, palette and subjects inspiration is drawn from. I love how intricate his forms are and how the build up to form a larger subject. I like his playful and creative use of words. One thing that I have learned out of looking at his work is a better understanding of how to create depth and mass by use of color combination. I researched him a little bit( so far a quick google search, but i plan on doing more) and there wasn't too much info out about him. But from what i read so far... he draws inspiration from all over the place like music, life, people he knows, famous people and places. This seems to something similar to me because i draw inspiration from all over. When i looked at his earlier work to his present work, i noticed the progression of development and intricacy of his forms and works. This gives me hope that my work can progress the same way because sometimes i feel that i kinda pigeon hole myself with my style.
