Artist Statement

I work in acrylic, pastel, graphite, digital and music as a way of sharing and expressing visions that have been with me my entire life. I also see artistic potential everywhere around me. I began having otherworldly visions when I was four years old and my journey in life has always been about finding the best use of this.

The visions, a scintilating tapestry of endlessly shifting forms, colors and sounds, are always with me. The different materials and approaches enable me to explore the flow and evolution of ideas that gush like a firehose. Frequent techniques such as impasto and alla prima allow me to flesh out an idea as it takes on a life of its own in a single session, while different scales allow for different strokes with a knife or brush. These approaches also allow for the suggestion of motion.

My goal is to use my visions of this otherwise indescribable space to create the essence, spirit or milieu of a place, idea or event. Each piece of visual music is a window into another world that creates an expressive personal outlet for the flow of energy and vision within me.

About Eric Chamberlain

Throughout his entire life Eric has had stunning waking visions and dreams of images and music that fuel all of his ambitious, bold and unique work. There is a constant stream of this energy from beyond that informs and connects his work in art, music and film, all within his aesthetic he calls Cinetecture, a portmanteau of "cinema" and "architecture". A daring risk-taker, Chamberlain gave up a promising career in defense and aerospace to pursue art, music and film. The quintessential artist, Eric  Chamberlain has tirelessly, relentlessly sacrificed all else to dedicate his entire life to the otherworldly creative vision with which he has been blessed.

His work, described as “darkly evocative yet hope-filled” often portrays a flow between polar modes or ideas, unusual combinations (beauty/terror, exquisite/savage, for example) metaphor (e.g. architecture as frozen music, music as a soul, etc.) and merging characteristics of different modes, forms, energies and aesthetics without losing the original DNA of such. He is also inspired by imagining aesthetic beyond the human perspective, both spiritually and biologically.

Chamberlain has also written and published a self-help book for creatives titled The Eye of Gogi, and has donated art to Online publications. He helps small animals and other creatures when he can.

The Future: Quadratura Cinetectura

Eric Chamberlain's present larger-scale objective is to assemble his ultimate vision, Quadratura Cinetectura, a multimedia gallery experience of his static abstract and non-representational works, motion and video works, his music and finally his pièce de résistance, a projection-mapping film entitled Quadratura Cinetectura. He has most recently completed a vast musical interpretation of these ideas in a massive quadruple album also titled Quadratura Cinetectura
