The World’s Best Ever Picks: Eric Beltz
- April 30, 2010
Eric Beltz is the kind of artist who takes a year to finish one piece. It’s not that he works slowly, it’s just that Beltz is detailed, focused, and completely obsessed. Based in Santa Barbara, Beltz’s preferred medium is graphite and it is in this limiting palette that he finds his inspiration. He says, “I can’t just add a splash of red to give visual interest to something. I have to think about more basic qualities of composition and value contrast.” The grayscale carries on to his domestic life as well. Case in point, his dogs: “I have three Schnauzers: black, middle gray, and white. Obsessions drive my experience and inform my decisions.” The devil is in the details.
