Artists We Love :: Eric Zener

Ok here’s how it went down…
I came across an cropped image of a young women’s legs in mid-flight about to sink into a delicious looking pool. Instant smile. I click on the link and see 10 more beautiful images of young women ascending and descending into pools of water. Smile widens. As I’m clicking through I come to realize these amazing images all all paintings. Smile turns into a BIG FAT “O”.   After a few shakes of the head, I go on a full on clicking spree through the rest of artist Eric Zener’s breathtaking work.  The details, the bubbles, the reflections, the light, the holy shits, the this guy is fucking sicks…

I’ve got to figure out a way to get one of these babies in the studio…

Mr. Zener are you listening???

Eric Zener’s Thoughts on His Paintings:
Eric Zener explains that his paintings attempt to capture that moment when the world’s worries wash away as we are immersed in the clarity of water. It envelopes us, it overtakes us and in his own words describes the feeling as our shared “quest for refuge and peace beneath the chaos of life.”
