Eric Franklin sculptures at Laura Russo Gallery
Jun 4th, 2008 by Brad
Eric Franklin with have an First Thursday opening this week
at the Laura Russo Gallery (805 NW 21st, Portland, OR). Eric’s new show is called “Bifurcations”.
Eric’s organic glass sculptures, are filled with a variety of noble gases, give them a a different soft yet surreal bioluminescent glow. Without touching, try hovering your hands over the image to influence the glow of the sculptures.
The image on the left is an image I took of Eric with one of his previous works, I’m not sure that that one will be at the show since it was done as a commission for a collector.
His artist statement says, “…work is reflective of biological processes and the glass rods begin to take on spinal or sea-creature characteristics.”
Eric was also one of Port‘s 1st Thur picks:
