Erik Von Ploennies began experimenting with art in 2004, at age 34, after seeing
Vasily Kandinsky's "Painting with White Border" at the Guggenheim Museum in
New York City. In 2007, with no art training, he left his career in electrical engineering
and moved to Brooklyn, New York, to pursue his artistic interests. Eric classifies his
work as primitive abstract, and mixes painting, drawing, and a variety of mediums
and styles. In addition to Kandinsky, his influences include Twombly, Rauschenberg,
and Basquiat. The artist is actively exhibiting in New York City. |
