OOT-1528 is an excellent example of Eric Mack's ongoing body of work utilizing multi-media, complex compositions centered around urban design. Using a grid as a framework to create his compositons, Mack creates intricate collages from graphic images before handcoloring. This early work of Mack shows how he investigates multi-media as the springboard for his practice.
Today Eric Mack creates mathematically based renderings with a distinctly post-modern approach. His multimedia artworks are informed with superimposed grids, patterns, and portals. Layered surfaces are created with paint, found objects, natural fibers, and synthetic substrates that explore the systems of our visual world. In 1998 Mack received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from the Atlanta College of Art which was absorbed by Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006. His recent exhibitions include Impossible Architectures, 2016, Stone Center, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Resurfaced+Restructured, 2015, Reginald Ingraham Gallery, Los Angeles, New grounds, 2016, International Institute of Art and Theory, Romania and Transatlantic Exhibition of art in the Southeast, 2016, Goethe Institute: Atlanta & North Carolina Zeitgeist Foundation, Atlanta, Georgia.
