Eric Johnson

Johnson, Eric, Born 1969, Sculptor.
Eric grew up in Adamsville, Al. painting and sculpting anything and everything. Eric sampled formal art training in middle school and in college but found the process tedious and as a result it was short lived. In 1996 Eric gained representation from his first gallery as a painter. He painted in the evenings and worked as a heavy equipment designer during the day. In 1998 he began experimenting with metal sculpture. Soon after, he began sculpting full time, leaving the paint and canvases behind. In 2001, he began searching for galleries to show his metal work. Since then he has gained representation in three states and is a regular at fine art shows and festivals around the southeast. In 2008 Eric left the design world behind and began a career as a full time artist. Now you may find him in his backyard studio at any hour of the day or night, surrounded by his three Australian shepherds, bringing into existence his latest idea. Eric’s work has won numerous awards and has been praised for its uniqueness and style. He has been interviewed by print, television and internet media about his work and process. He has shipped work all over the globe including Kobe, Japan and Scotland to name a few.
