Description
Artist Eric Cameron puts his work into the broader context of modernist theory and criticism.?Bent Axis Approach is an extended essay, "To Justify the Inevitability of its Particular Forms," in which the artist reflects on the meanings of his now famous "thick paintings" (objects painted over with hundreds of layers of white gesso). Dr. Ann Davis, Director of The Nickle Arts Museum, has said of Cameron's work: " Cameron's Thick Paintings explore the space between heaven and earth; they defend the usefulness of space. They are eyes that have been blinded and can now see. They are the indefinable defined, the experience of life brought to mysterious reality." Cameron received Canada's Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2004.
