Whether it’s on canvas, murals, or custom installations, Erik Otto’s work is overflowing with an unpretentious vitality. His treatments of geometric forms among layers of sprays and organic paint washes invite the viewer closer to see details, line work, and choices up close. His line work often continues with neon lights installed to create further dimension hovering above or flowing off the canvas. Illuminated or not, Otto’s work glows.Otto has added modern and classically fine art fresco materials to his recent works to create plaster and concrete forms both on the canvas and off. His dimensional applications create a sense of gravity in his work as well as offer space for new textures and light play.The harmony of his choices in each work helps to root the vibrance that might otherwise feel shocking. His bright and bold color choices, even in works that are predominantly dark or meant to speak about the weight of our shared vitality, are patent to his artistic language. Otto’s work feels balanced and natural. These pieces are at once a reflection of his interior world and a space to alchemize new perspectives for the viewer.
