Eric Inkala was born in 1982 in Minneapolis Minnesota. Now based in Brooklyn New York, his paintings have adopted an aesthetic narrative of his life, using his signature characters as a vehicle to express thoughts and emotions creating an almost subconscious biographical narrative. His current work centers on a study of line and color through reoccurring shapes and characters, which serve as a basis for exploring these objects through pattern, abstraction and re-appropriation.
"I started the background’s of these paintings when I broke my right hand and I am right handed, couldn’t really paint and it was driving me crazy so I just said fuck it and started painting really abstract backgrounds with my left hand. Then they sat to the side for a while and came back to them a while later when my hand was completely healed and started building up the layers. I was experimenting with adding some elements of my text drawings to my paintings and these were the result. Both paintings are extremely layered." - Eric Inkala
