Eric Waugh

Artist Biography

Masterful use of color in combination with the graceful balance of timeless imagery and subtle texture describe the exceptional artwork of Eric Waugh. Be it the natural richness of Waugh's palette of spicy hues or his explosive bursts of majestic brights, Waugh's art, prints and posters draw us into an ideal union of soothing vitality reflecting the artist's own positivity and genuine appreciation for life. Known originally for his timeless, acrylic abstracts, his work has evolved through progressive experimentation with various methods and media into a vast array of figurative works. Poetic compositions of single figures or small groups dance across the canvas with a nurtured grace and fluidity.

Waugh's newest series of art, prints and posters, The Musicians, reveals a clear sense of his own rhythmic artistry, further exploring the dynamic of movement, energy and the beat of his own heartfelt passion for the arts. Waugh keeps the music alive with his piano player's caress, his saxophonist's breath and his violinist's precise bow. Whether in solo performance pieces or symphonic ensembles this collection is instrumental in further inspiring Waugh's personal expression of both the intensity and pure joy of his creative process and of life.

Waugh's rise through the art world has been overwhelming. Born in Montreal in 1963, he is self-taught in every artistic aspect. He gained experience in the fields of graphic illustration and product design before turning to painting in 1988. Since then, the tremendous quality of his art, prints and posters has escalated his popularity among art connoisseurs to the point where he is represented in galleries in virtually every major city in North America. Over the years his paintings have been acquired by thousands of major corporate and private collectors worldwide placing the prolific Eric Waugh at a level of distinguished prominence in today's international art market.
