“STATE OF TRANSITION”

By Erik Otto

Fine artist Erik Otto is originally from San Jose but landed a few miles north in San Francisco after completing his BFA in Illustration in 2005. Recognized for his versatility Otto has worked with all kinds of materials and on a variety of scales. He told O+A that for him everything flows from within—trusting and following his intuition. . . “It’s as if every time I carry out a vision (no matter how big or small), I uncover another layer to my soul.” Otto told Dirty Laundry that he grew up playing drums and breakdancing, and sees his painting style as “another form of dance or way to make music.” This 2011 piece was painted in Austin Street, an alley off of Polk Street in San Francisco.  @erikotto  @o_plus_a  @DirtyLaundryMag  @scenesfromthesidewalk

ALCHEMY opening this Thursday, May 26th and runs until June 23rd (by appointment only) "The exhibition will be a combination of mixed media The new collection by New York-based artist Erik Otto explores themes of transformation and regeneration. The collection moves through the stages of grief the artist has personally experienced over the last year, exploring the metamorphic states of being that were brought to bear. Mortality and vitality are in tandem, as color and form take shape together onto the surface. Inner conflict is brought to the fore in a portrayal of the difficult beauty that is life. The new collection by New York-based artist Erik Otto explores themes of transformation and regeneration. The collection moves through the stages of grief the artist has personally experienced over the last year, exploring the metamorphic states of being that were brought to bear. Mortality and vitality are in tandem, as color and form take shape together onto the surface. Inner conflict is brought to the fore in a portrayal of the difficult beauty that is life. Alchemy is a slight departure from Otto’s previous works, often centered around resolution and stillness. This collection focuses on what happens as the dust settles from turbulent times, a rediscovery of oneself and an intentional effort to seek peace from within. For Otto, this work is a release, a grievance, a shedding, and a movement needed for renewal. Shifting from his signature circular motif as the central focus, the artist aims to create movement which emphasizes a journey of transformation. Evolving states of being captured in atmospheric landscapes poetically portray a feeling of letting go and an energy that is released when we accept what we can’t control." - Heron Arts #alchemy #erikotto #heronarts #neon (at Heron Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_yARvvSj_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
