i paint mostly in oil or acrylics or some mix, sometimes whatever i feel like for the day. growing up around the seasonal amusements of the shore as well as close to NYC influenced me and my art. i like to combine pop surrealism with more traditional techniques.
Artist Statement
I'm influenced by music, poetry and all beautiful things. I think art reflects life, lovely, yet with ever-impending doom only a moment of sunshine away. I paint in both oils and acrylics or both, mostly on wood. I admire the wood, it's earthy and heavy. Like you could probably knock someone out with one of my paintings.
My personal influences include just about every artist I've ever seen, Shakespeare, Johnny Cash and Quentin Tarantino. Movies, old advertising- anything visual can make my eyes so happy.
"Erica Doll's work combines the fatalistic sense of humor she carries with her always, and the imagery of a soft and cuddly better world. Her visions of innocence represented by items found in fairy tales or toy chests, are distorted by this dark sense of humor. Her work is the creative collision where the sweet dreams of childhood, and the stark reality of life after, meet."- Max Stout
