Eric Timothy Carlson
Eric Timothy Carlson (b. Walnut Creek, California) is an artist and designer who attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where he began to be involved in the Midwestern DIY art and music scene. Carlson’s work spans drawing, painting, sculpture, and graphic design. He often collaborates with other artists, designers, musicians, and dancers. His work centers around symbols and iconography, deeply rooted in the human psyche, which he views as having the ability to slice into language. He often begins with a collection of images, objects and theories which he then uses to generate many sketches and drawings. From these disparate signifiers, Carlson creates sculptures, densely layered paintings, and graphic designs which often take the form of an intuitive, grid-like structure. The resulting work invites viewers to inquire into the space between signifiers, searching for enigmatic relationships around themes of discord, technology, and the degradation of language. Eric Timothy Carlson lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Eric Timothy Carlson has taught and lectured at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. His work has been nominated for a Grammy for album design. Carlson has received solo exhibitions at Fischer Parrish Gallery and Pioneer Works in New York.
