Eric Beltz

Drawing and Painting

Playfully macabre and fiercely humorous, Eric Beltz¹s hypnotically detailed drawings recast stories and characters from colonial American history in a grayscale psychedelia. His current series "American Visions" combines quotes from the Old Testament, Revolutionary era texts, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Medieval herbals as well as other sources with narrative imagery to present historical data as mystical origin myth. Beltz is represented by Acuña-Hansen Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. He received his MFA in 2004 from UC Santa Barbara. His work has been featured in Flaunt Magazine and in several group shows in Los Angeles, New York, and England.
