| Career (excerpt from the exhibition supplement, art prize 1992) |
|
Based on Impressionism, the painter Eric Franken reflects the legacy of this art movement in a classical manner, combined with modern-day realism. Constantly in search of new light and color plays in dark shadows. In the landscape, in the face of man, in the movement of animals. For him, oil and pastel techniques are the most expressive means of painting and drawing in order to create a symbiosis with nature. Art is the only gift of man to respect his environment and nature. The pictures are usually taken directly in front of the subject (Plein air) within 2-3 hours, or in the studio from the photo and from the memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1989 to 1990 visited the Cologne School of Painting under the artistic direction of Wolf Guntermann.
