About
Contemporary Figurative Artist Eric Armusik (1973) -
Eric Armusik is an artist that has bucked the traditional trend of marketing and sales of his work, taking on the entire operation himself, and with great results. In 2010, the artist sold over 60 paintings worldwide in several original marketing events including his "Fire Sale" and the "48 hour Marathon Portrait." But at his core, Eric is an exceptional, romantic figurative painter. His modern-day usage of Baroque-era drama and his ability to fuse deep emotion has distinguished Eric's art from some of the best figurative realist painters in the world today. Eric’s early experiences with art were staring at the ceilings during church at the local Roman Catholic cathedral each Sunday as a child. Seeking out formal training after school, Eric attended Pennsylvania State University, where he earned a B. F. A. in painting, and a minor in an art history focusing on Baroque art. He spent one semester studying painting and art history in Italy. The rare opportunity to view masterworks by Baroque painters Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi had a profound effect on the direction and quality of his work. In 2010 he won the Chairman’s Award for the Sixth International Art Renewal Center competition out of 1700 submissions from over 30 countries worldwide.
Eric's paintings have been displayed in galleries and museums in Philadelphia, New York, and Florence, Italy. His paintings are in the permanent collections of The Trenton City Museum, Lehigh Valley Hospital and numerous private collections. His work has also been prominently featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, ARTFORUM, American Artist Magazine, American Art Collector, Victorian Homes Magazine, Old House Journal, and ArtMATTERS.
