Eric Goldstein is a Vancouver-based Contemporary Artist and A multi-award winning Director of Photography; Eric is a recipient of the Eastman Award for Excellence in Cinematography with over 40 years of experience.
Before earning a MFA degree in Film and Video from the California Institute of the Arts, Eric honed his skills as a fine artist with a BFA from Rhode Island School of
Design.
As a mixed-media artist, Eric uses the same creative alchemy he uses as a cinematographer to share even more intricate story playing out on our natural
stage. Striking the balance between careful planning and improvisation, Eric’s unconventionally collaged art comes into being through a labor-intensive process of
assembling and layering various colored fibers, metal foils, and glass tile, thoughtfully selected for the way they connect to his subjects.
Eric’s mixed media pieces have won many distinguished artist award and has been exhibited in Montreal, Toronto, Whistler, and Vancouver. His work has sold internationally.
Eric’s canvases express the same underlying concept that he strives for as a cinematographer; “ Poetic narratives with kinetic energy”

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Employing unconventional materials such as colored fibers, metal foils, paint and plaster, my canvases create poetic narratives infused with kinetic energy.
By distilling only the fundamental elements of line, colour, and texture from the wild West Coast landscapes around me, my artwork explores the boundless beauty of the natural world—not merely its outward appearance, but the profound emotions it elicits by
being incomprehensible, indescribable, and brimming with chaos.
Ultimately, my work aims to bring a sense of energy, contemplation, and connection to the environments it inhabits.
