ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I entered my studio (garage with the door open) and the weather was in the mid-90s, dusty and dry. It has been quite a stressful week with things going on that I have no control over. I am starting to sleep better, but I'm still on pins and needles. I needed to get out of my head, by going into my head. I was feeling loose once the music was playing (Tim Hecker / Ultraviolet) and I could hear the birds and the distant traffic. The flys were heavy today. I was painting on the floor, then the wall, then the floor again. I ended up on the wall and the day was lifting off of me. I was happy where I was at in my head and on the canvas. I pulled up a chair in the hot shade and started at this piece while guzzling my Trader Joe's lime water. The stress of my day had lifted and I thought about the position that I am in with this stress. I am trying to make everyone happy and pitch a good deal for everyone. It reminded me of Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice when he is standing in his little grave yard and he just wants to get out... and at the end of his spiel, he calls out his closing line... "Come on down and I'll chew on a dog!" This piece is framed with white wood and is ready to hang. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Eric Guenette is an abstract painter working in latex and acrylic paint, spray paint, oil markers, pencil, as well as other media on canvas and fiberboard. He also paints primarily with scraps of cut wood and rarely uses brushes. The organic nature of the work is carried through from the structural frames that are hand-built from scratch to the drop cloth fabric and other found fabric materials for canvasing. Most of the works are framed with clean and simple white painted pine. Hanging hardware is added and all artwork is sold ready to hang. “I feel a strong connection to my grandfather, Marcel, who was a custom golf shoe maker at Footjoy in Brockton, Massachusetts. He was a man that could build anything with his hands. I draw upon his spirit and creativity as I work on pieces. Painting with wood scraps of wood and house paint takes me back to his old wood shop and creates a fully organic process from frame to canvas to paint application. The angled cuts on the scrapers allow for a repetitious motion to scrape and re-apply paint quickly in the same movement, depending on the angle of the stroke. I hope to carry his spirit on in my work.” –Eric Guenette Eric Guenette was born in Winter Park, Florida (1967) and grew up in Palm Beach County, Florida area until he moved to Albuquerque in 2009. He is currently in Lagos, Portugal as of 2024.
