New paintings by Vancouver based, Eric Louie. Eric Louie’s paintings explore ideas of memory, romanticism and escapism through his depictions of abstracted environments. Louie’s creation of space is unique to his style of painting and intended to transport viewers to a variety of intimate places, nowhere specific but rather imagined places built from fragmented memories. In Eric Louie's new work for the exhibition “Semblances”, he is using digital references to create intangible approximations or shell ghost imagery which feel like a virtual reality spaces.​
