Artist: Eric Zener

Gallery Henoch presents Eric Zener's 19th solo show with the gallery, “Recent Paintings”. Presenting a range of new paintings, Zener delves into ideas of solitude whilst also exploring his connection with nature.

Zener has characteristically approached his work with an eye to articulating human encounters with life challenges. He often uses the natural world as a metaphor for moments of uncertainty and change. His waterscapes become backdrops for figures in contemplative states, while moments of euphoric revelation can be seen in dynamic plumes of white bubbles amplified by the surrounding blue.

While many of the paintings depict figures situated in water, several of them explore the mysteries of nature devoid of human presence. In these the viewer is introduced to a world characterized by densely forested views, idyllic fields, columns of bubbles, or towering cloud formations. Through both waterscapes and landscapes, Zener explores the abyss of nature and how it feels to be truly alone, removed from the world, and yet connected to a universal experience.

Eric Zener lives and works in the Bay Area and has been exhibited in the United States and internationally for over 25 years.
