Eric A. Leppanen

About the Artist

Eric Leppanen is a Maine artist living and working in Belfast, Maine. Leppanen's interest in physics, the universe and the unknown is depicted in his large abstract paintings. He says "In my experimental art, I take ideas, thoughts, colors, action, materials - add energy and let the paint flow. I attempt to direct its interaction with the forces of nature creating texture and depth that encourages viewers to travel in their minds.? His materials used for art can be found in nature, aside the road or from discarded materials...a sort of recycling. Eric loves discarded paraphernalia ? giving it a new life and purpose.
