Erik Parker's vivid montages synthesise contemporary portraits with the hyper-saturation of modern media.

Dynamic tondo Free Ride skillfully charts the overwhelming scroll of social media through the lens of its subject. Bursting with a multitude of acid-hued references, idyllic landscapes clash with comic illustrations and photorealistic images cut straight from magazines. Each print is finished with a unique, hand-painted silhouette and textured gloss, completing Parker’s sensory explosion.

Behind the scenes

Erik Parker stands infront of his painting wearing glasses, beanie and white tshirt

Erik Parker2 collaborationsPaintings by Erik Parker are loud, assertive and trippy. He layers images into psychedelic collages, often incorporating geometric forms like pyramids. Neon figures melt into and obscure each other. His references are stock photos sourced from the internet. After sketching them onto canvas, the artist manipulates them into intricate compositions. They are then painted in acrylic in a flat, graphic style. Visually, Parker references graffiti, cartoons and comic books. Many of his inspirations stem from his childhood. Counterculture in particular, including punk rock, hip hop and skateboarding.
