Abstract Painting
The Fairfield Art Association will be featuring Chicago painter Eric Neuschwanger during March at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center.

Eric, an Illinois native from the rural community of Clinton, attained a B.F.A. from Northern Illinois University in 2002 as an illustration major. During and following college Eric worked for several newspapers as an editorial cartoonist and did production work in advertising departments. After doing comics and graphic work for a couple of years, he became dissatisfied, feeling disconnected to the subject matter and realized that the formal qualities of line, shape and color were evoking his interest and attention. Beginning with a commission for a 10x20 foot mural, he began a gradual transition into the fine art of painting.

Working with imagery from pop culture, memory, and drawings which fill his many sketchbooks, he says, "I like to think that art found me and not the other way around." His energetic, color filled abstract paintings certainly reflect the passion of someone called to be a painter.

Eric is a member of the Chicago Artist’s Coalition and currently works for Apartments.com where he implements his knowledge in graphics to edit digital photography.

His exhibit will open March 7th during the Art Walk at 6:30 p.m.

His large scale paintings will be displayed in the main gallery at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center through March.

The paintings can be seen during the FA&CC regular hours; Monday-Friday, 12:00-6:00 p.m.
