Although the diverse body of work by Erin Calamari-Kirwan spans multiple mediums and themes, the commonalities are clear. Intrigued by the natural world around her, Erin experiments with color, mark, and composition to develop unique perspectives and visual narratives. Her acrylic paintings, in particular her landscapes, demonstrate a fascination with color harmonies and the connection they have to the human psyche. When painting, Erin often flirts with the overly representational and the abstract, choosing specific areas to simplify and make ambiguous, leaving space for the viewer to create their own connections and assumptions about the space depicted. Her most recent work is inspired by the rural landscapes of the French countryside, where she spent the summer attending an artist residency.
