Eric Zener

United States  • 1966

Presentation

Eric Zener is a photorealistic and self-taught artist born in 1966 in Astoria, USA.

Eric Zener is fascinated by water and more particularly by the interaction of men with this element. The artist discovered his passion for this element in 2003, while living in Spain on Costa Brava when he watched the swimmers. The ripples of the surface water, the movements of the swimmers, the colors and the unpredictable behaviors of the water captivated him.
He then began doing a collection of oil paintings portraying women performing in the aquatic world. Eager for new techniques, a little later he began another collection of compositions, where he covered a panel of wood with gold, silver and resin leaves, on which he then pasted digital photographs he painted.
Eric Zener's work highlights the immensity of the nature in which the human being evolves. The individual is alone, and experiences his vulnerability by admiring and communicating with the elements. The nonsense and the finitude of life impose itself on the spectator, who, traversed by a shudder, realizes suddenly the abyssal extent of his solitude.

Now internationally recognized, Eric Zener has participated in more than twenty-seven years of career to fifty personal exhibitions and to a hundred collective exhibitions. He has been rewarded many times and has succeeded in arousing the interest of many museums, religious institutions, businesses, international hotels and other private collectors.
