  • Orange Hill Without Trees artwork by Eric McCuaig

About Artist:

Art  - the blank canvas as an outlet for an idea.  

Eric McCuaig was born in Canada and began painting in 2013 while living in Spain.  His artistic vision is to take a simple idea – for example a forest path, an old colonial building, the memory of a tree, a field of flowers  and so forth then communicate it with pure color and simple composition.  Art is a beautiful visual language and McCuaig’s paintings capture scenes and moods in a universally accessible style.  

 Education:           BA International Development (Political Economy) University of Guelph, Canada

Artistic Influences:  Andre Derain, Silvio Aragao, Ettore DeGrazia, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Maurice de Vlaminck, Alexander Young Jackson, Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida, Giorgio Morandi, Katherine Bernhardt, Philip Guston.

About Artwork:

Orange Hill Without Trees 48 x 32 inches

(2016) oil on plywood

Artist - Eric McCuaig

 

 

I found a piece of discarded plywood, and noticed that it came from Canada, my home country   (I now live in Colorado).  This could not go to waste.  Somebody had cut a tree down and I found a part of it, and was going to put it to good use.  Now if you have never painted on plywood, believe me it is not easy.  I now know why artists use canvas.  It's like cheating.  Imagine the poor cave painters!  The result is a primitive landscape painting, with oddly, an orange hill and what looks like trees that have been cut down.  Fitting for a plywood painting.
