Southern California-based artist Eric Theodore creates contemplative, luminous oil paintings of the male body, modulating between classical realism and subtle symbolism. 

 

His work investigates the duality of body and mind, a quiet yearning, and the tension between stillness and motion.


Drawing on traditions of Greco-Roman sculpture and academic figure study, Theodore composes the body as a poetic vessel through which interior life is made visible. 

His work appears in numerous public and private collections inculing the Bakersfield Museum of Art, Laguna College of Art + Design, the Grace Doherty Library, among others.
