Eric Elms ‘ViewSonic’ feature on HighSnobiety

Former KAWS studio assistant and Supreme designer Eric Elms’ exhibition “ViewSonic” is now showing at HVW8 in Los Angeles.

“ViewSonic” includes paintings from two of Elms’ series, “Halftone” and “Stair.” The LA-based artist uses his experience in graphic design to inform his art. According to the show’s promotional materials, Elms breaks down images, “re-inventing and re-purposing the familiar to the brink of ambiguity,” walking the line “between representation and abstraction.”

Eric Elms ‘ViewSonic’ Opens March 8th, 6 – 10pm

Opening Friday, March 8th, 6 – 10pm

RSVP at rsvp@hvw8.com

Eric Elms is an artist and designer living and working in out of his multidisciplinary studio in Los Angeles CA. He has shown in numerous group shows around the world as well as solo shows in New York, Tokyo and Paris.

Drawing upon his own art practice as well as his work in print and design, Elms appropriates elements from his previously established graphic language and breaks them down by syllable, re-inventing and re-purposing the familiar to the brink of ambiguity. The imagery is in flux between banality and trope. Forcing the viewer to further reflect upon the image itself rather than it’s direct representation. This new language is used intentionally to degrade the imagery. The work exists in the crosshairs between representation and abstraction.

View Sonic will present two iterations of this process; a series from his “Halftone” paintings as well as a small selection of his “Stair” paintings.
