Eric Ashcraft (b. 1983, Billings, Montana) acquired a BFA from the University of Montana in 2006 and finished his MFA in painting at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009, where he has been a professor for the last three years. Ashcraft’s work can be characterized by a strong emotional and mental connection with impermanence, loss, and malleability of form. Much of Ashcraft’s work investigates themes of the history of illustration in painting, philosophical connotations of the romantic, and paradox. His work is multifaceted, dealing with subjects and material that traverse the territory between the highly autobiographical, art historical, and the fantastic to find voice and concern within contemporary art.
Recent exhibitions in which Ashcraft has contributed include: NEXT invitational exhibition of emerging art at Art Chicago, Chicago; Patrajdas Contemporary, Chicago; Painting Centric at Cal Arts, Valencia, California; The Factory Underground, Greenwich, Connecticut; Casa Duno at The Milwaukee Art Festival, and Manifest Exhibitions in Chicago.
Exhibit will continue through February.
