Artist statement
Eric Length, born 1980 in Hindås, has been based in Malmö since graduating from Malmö Art Academy in 2011. Besides painting with oils, his work is characterized by techniques like paint washes on cotton canvas, collage and drawing. Visually the paintings alter between appearance and dissolution, resembling transitory moments in nature, such as light, sky and ocean. Since 2023 there has been an introduction of figures and scenes that are more distinct than before.
