Dog is God BackwardsThe Art Exchange is going to the dogs this June. One of the artists featured this summer is London print-maker Eric Mummery and his series of furry friend lithographs. Eric's pieces explore the myths and legends of man's best friend in a whimsically illustrative way. Our resident puppy Lucy is happy to welcome you into the gallery when you come explore this month's show. |
More about the artist.....
Eric Mummery is a visual artist working primarily in printmaking and drawing along with wood carving and painting. Eric studied printmaking in London at Bealart and went on to earn a Bachelors degree in fine arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University. Eric is a member of the recently formed group of professional artists who share a passion for printmaking, Print London.
His prints have been shown in juried and invitational exhibitions in Canada, the
US, Taiwan, Belgium, Poland, Serbia, France and most recently in the 2018 international miniature print exhibition in Berlin.
"My work explores the absurdities of the human condition and the systems that we live by. The imagery I use arrives through an intuitive stream of the unconscious. I like to play with the idea of the dog as a metaphor for human beings’ search for spiritual enlightenment and the mysteries of existence. As I like to think of it I am exchanging God with Dog."
